Constructors

Ap :: f a -> Alt f (a -> b) -> AltF f b 
Pure :: a -> AltF f a 

Instances

runAlt :: forall f g a. Alternative g => (forall x. f x -> g x) -> Alt f a -> g aSource

Given a natural transformation from f to g, this gives a canonical monoidal natural transformation from Alt f to g.

liftAlt :: Functor f => f a -> Alt f aSource

A version of lift that can be used with just a Functor for f.

hoistAlt :: (forall a. f a -> g a) -> Alt f b -> Alt g bSource

Given a natural transformation from f to g this gives a monoidal natural transformation from Alt f to Alt g.
