We've been simply generalizing the types of existing combinators (and
leaving them in their existing homes) rather than taking an army of new
names and leaving a ghetto of old, less useful combinators that we'd have
to clean up later or leave as landmines to trip up newcomers to the
language.
I have no objection to generalizing the types of these combinators, however.

Analogs of monadic functions, which likely ought to be in base as part of AMP.
I send no patch yet, for I not know which way to do the Data.Traversable <-> Control.Applicative cyclic import.
-- | 'filterA' generalizes the list-based 'filter' function. {-# INLINE filterA #-} filterA :: (Applicative p) => (a -> p Bool) -> [a] -> p [a] filterA p = foldr (\ x -> liftA2 (\ flg -> bool flg (x:) id) (p x)) (pure []) where bool True x = const x bool False _ = id
-- | 'mapAndUnzipA' maps its first argument over a list, returning the result as a pair of lists. {-# INLINE mapAndUnzipA #-} mapAndUnzipA :: (Applicative p) => (a -> p (b, c)) -> [a] -> p ([b], [c]) mapAndUnzipA f xs = unzip <$> traverse f xs
-- | 'zipWithA' generalizes 'zipWith' to arbitrary applicative functors. {-# INLINE zipWithA #-} zipWithA :: (Applicative p) => (a -> b -> p c) -> [a] -> [b] -> p [c] zipWithA f x y = sequenceA (zipWith f x y)
-- | 'zipWithA_' is the extension of 'zipWithA' which ignores the final result. {-# INLINE zipWithA_ #-} zipWithA_ :: (Applicative p) => (a -> b -> p c) -> [a] -> [b] -> p () zipWithA_ f x y = sequenceA_ (zipWith f x y)
-- | @'replicateA' n x@ does @x@ @n@ times, gathering the results. {-# INLINEABLE replicateA #-} {-# SPECIALIZE replicateA :: Int -> IO a -> IO [a] #-} {-# SPECIALIZE replicateA :: Int -> Maybe a -> Maybe [a] #-} replicateA :: (Applicative p) => Int -> p a -> p [a] replicateA n x = sequenceA (replicate n x)
-- | 'replicateA_' is like 'replicateA', but discards the result. {-# INLINEABLE replicateA_ #-} {-# SPECIALIZE replicateA_ :: Int -> IO a -> IO () #-} {-# SPECIALIZE replicateA_ :: Int -> Maybe a -> Maybe () #-} replicateA_ :: (Applicative p) => Int -> p a -> p () replicateA_ n x = sequenceA_ (replicate n x) _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libraries
