synopsis:            simplified import of lens-family

description:         This module, @Lens.Simple@, just re-exports the main modules from Russell O\'Connor's 
                     <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family-core lens-family-core> 
                     package, the original <http://r6.ca/blog/20120623T104901Z.html van Laarhoven lens> library. 
                     @Lens.Simple@ also re-exports @makeLenses@ and 
                     other TH incantations from Dan Burton's associated 
                     <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family-th lens-family-th>. 
                     All other dependencies are ghc boot libraries. 
                     .
                     The idea is just to make a lens-family equivalent of 
                     @import Control.Lens@ \-\- namely, @import Lens.Simple@.
                     .
                     As an illustration, note that the exemplary 
                     <https://github.com/michaelt/lens-family-simple/blob/master/examples/Pong.hs pong> 
                     module from the @lens@ repository compiles with only this 
                     change of imports. When one day the need arises for the unfathomably 
                     more sophisticated material in @Control.Lens@, the opposite change
                     of imports will tend be all that is necessary 
                     to begin using them. 
                     .
                     There are caveats, of course. The 
                     @zoom@ exported here does not use @MonadState@ from 
                     @mtl@ but is specialized to @Control.Monad.Trans.State.Strict@  
                     Many of the other lenses and combinators are a bit more 
                     specialized than their @Control.Lens@ equivalents: 
                     for example, _1 and _2 are here 
                     familiarly specialized to act just on real Haskell
                     pairs; with the loss of abstraction we also of course
                     abbreviate the error messages.
