module Data.Accessor.Private where

{- |
The accessor function we use,
has a record value as first argument
and returns the content of a specific record field
and a function that allows to overwrite that field with a new value.

In former version of a package
we used a function that resembled the state monad.
However this required to use an 'undefined'
in the implementation of the @get@ function.
