{- | Modeling of an extensible, recursive sum datatype (recursive open union) > data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) which is later extended with two more variants, > ... | Unit a | App (List a) (List a) Our goals: * any function that accepts the extended data list must also accept the unextended list. * it should be possible to `extend' the function that operates on plain lists to operate on extended list. We should be able to reuse as much of the old code as possible. It seems, we have achieved our goals. /Method/: duality rules! Curry-Howard correspondence and logic give the wonderful guidance. In particular, we take advantage of the fact that the deMorgan law > NOT (A | B) -> (NOT A & NOT B) holds both in classical, and, more importantly, intuitionistic logics. Our encoding of sums is the straightforward Curry-Howard image of the law. Note, the code below has no type classes, no type-level programming or any other type hacking. In fact, there are no type annotations, type declarations, or any other mentioning of types, except in the comments -} module Data.HList.VariantP where import Data.HList.CommonMain import Data.HList.Label1 -- Declare labels for extensible records -- or, dually, for -- extensible variants -- We used the simplest field labels.
