-- Transitional module providing the 'MonadFail' class and primitive
-- instances.
--
-- This module can be imported for defining forward compatible
-- 'MonadFail' instances:
--
-- @
-- import qualified Control.Monad.Fail as Fail
--
-- instance Monad Foo where
--   (>>=) = {- ...bind impl... -}
--
--   -- Provide legacy 'fail' implementation for when
--   -- new-style MonadFail desugaring is not enabled.
--   fail = Fail.fail
--
-- instance Fail.MonadFail Foo where
--   fail = {- ...fail implementation... -}

-- | When a value is bound in @do@-notation, the pattern on the left
-- hand side of @<-@ might not match. In this case, this class
-- provides a function to recover.
--
-- A 'Monad' without a 'MonadFail' instance may only be used in conjunction
-- with pattern that always match, such as newtypes, tuples, data types with
-- only a single data constructor, and irrefutable patterns (@~pat@).
--
-- Instances of 'MonadFail' should satisfy the following law: @fail s@ should
-- be a left zero for 'Control.Monad.>>=',
--
-- @
-- fail s >>= f  =  fail s
-- @
--
-- If your 'Monad' is also 'Control.Monad.MonadPlus', a popular definition is
--
-- @
-- fail _ = mzero
