An applicative transformer to organize effects into an arbitrary number of phases of execution.

Use now to schedule actions for the current phase of execution:

>>> say name = putStrLn name *> pure name
>>> runPhasesForwards $ (,,) <$> now (say "Huey") <*> now (say "Dewey") <*> now (say "Louie")
Huey
Dewey
Louie
("Huey","Dewey","Louie")

Or later to schedule it for the next phase of execution:

>>> runPhasesForwards $ (,,) <$> later (say "Huey") <*> now (say "Dewey") <*> now (say "Louie")
Dewey
Louie
Huey
("Huey","Dewey","Louie")

And delay to delay a set of phased actions by one phase:

>>> runPhasesForwards $ delay ((,,) <$> later (say "Huey") <*> now (say "Dewey")) <*> now (say "Louie")
Louie
Dewey
Huey
("Huey","Dewey","Louie")

Phases can also be run in reverse, but all actions in the same phase still occur in the same order:

>>> runPhasesBackwards $ (,,) <$> later (say "Huey") <*> now (say "Dewey") <*> now (say "Louie")
Huey
Dewey
Louie
("Huey","Dewey","Louie")

run the phased actions in forwards order

>>> runPhasesForwards $ now (putStrLn "hello") *> later (putStrLn "world")
hello
world
>>> runPhasesForwards $ later (putStrLn "hello") *> now (putStrLn "world")
world
hello

run the phased actions in backwards order

>>> runPhasesBackwards $ now (putStrLn "hello") *> later (putStrLn "world")
world
hello
>>> runPhasesBackwards $ later (putStrLn "hello") *> now (putStrLn "world")
hello
world

schedule an action to run in the current phase

schedule an action to run in the next phase

delay all actions by a phase
