Description
Some classes for generalized boolean operations.
In this design, for if-then-else, equality and inequality tests, the boolean type depends on the value type.
I also tried using a unary type constructor class. The class doesn't work
for regular booleans, so generality is lost. Also, we'd probably have
to wire class constraints in like: (==*) :: Eq a => f Bool -> f a -> f
a -> f a, which disallows situations needing additional constraints,
e.g., Show.
Starting with 0.1.0, this package uses type families. Up to version 0.0.2, it used MPTCs with functional dependencies. My thanks to Andy Gill for suggesting & helping with the change.

- boolean :: (IfB a, bool ~ BooleanOf a) => a -> a -> bool -> a
- cond :: (Applicative f, IfB a, bool ~ BooleanOf a) => f bool -> f a -> f a -> f a
- crop :: (Applicative f, Monoid (f a), IfB a, bool ~ BooleanOf a) => f bool -> f a -> f a
- class Boolean (BooleanOf a) => EqB a where
- class Boolean (BooleanOf a) => OrdB a where
- minB :: (IfB a, OrdB a) => a -> a -> a
- maxB :: (IfB a, OrdB a) => a -> a -> a
- sort2B :: (IfB a, OrdB a) => (a, a) -> (a, a)
