Data types and utilities representing failure. Most of it is based on the
"Either" type in its usual configuration (left represents failure).

In most cases, the failure type is implied or required to be a "Monoid".

The choice of "Either" instead of a custom type makes it easier to write
compatible instances of "ArrowChoice".

-- | Class of containers that can escalate contained 'Either's.
-- The word "Vector" is meant in the sense of a disease transmitter.

-- Let's do a few examples first

instance ChoiceVector Maybe where
  spreadChoice (Just (Left  f))  = Left  f
  spreadChoice (Just (Right x))  = Right (Just x)
  spreadChoice Nothing           = Right Nothing

instance ChoiceVector (Either l) where

instance ChoiceVector ((,) a) where

  spreadChoice (x, Right y) = Right (x,y)
  -- Wasn't there a newtype somewhere with the elements flipped?

--
-- More instances later, first some discussion.
--
-- I'll have to freshen up on type system details to see how (or if) to do
-- something like
--
-- > instance (ChoiceVector a, ChoiceVector b) => ChoiceVector (a b) where
-- >   :
--
-- But maybe it would be even better to use something like
--
-- > class ChoiceVector v v' f | v -> v' f where
-- >   spreadChoice :: v -> Either f v'
--
-- That way, more places in @v@ could spread the cheer, e.g.:
--
-- As before:
-- --                       ( a , Either f b)    (a , b)  f
-- > instance ChoiceVector ((,) a (Either f b)) ((,) a b) f where
-- >   spreadChoice (_, Left  f) = Left f
-- >   spreadChoice (a, Right b) = Right (a,b)
--
-- But also:
-- --                       ( Either f a , b)    (a , b)  f
-- > instance ChoiceVector ((,) (Either f a) b) ((,) a b) f where
-- >   spreadChoice (Right a,b) = Right (a,b)
-- >   spreadChoice (Left  f,_) = Left f
--
-- And maybe even:
-- --                        ( Either f a , Either f b)     (a , b)  f
-- > instance ChoiceVector ((,) (Either f a) (Either f b)) ((,) a b) f where
-- >   spreadChoice (Right a , Right b) = Right (a,b)
-- >   spreadChoice (Left  f , _      ) = Left f
-- >   spreadChoice ( _      , Left  f) = Left f
--
-- Of course that would lead to a lot of overlapping instances...
-- But I can't think of a different way. A selector function might help,
-- but not even a "Data.Traversable" is powerful enough for that.
-- But maybe someone has already solved all this with a lens library.
--
-- Well, it's an interesting academic question. But for practical purposes,
-- I have more than enough right now.
