Extendable Functors
There are two ways to define an Extend
instance:
I. Provide definitions for extend
satisfying this law:
extended f . extended g = extended (f . extended g)
II. Alternately, you may choose to provide definitions for duplicate
satisfying this law:
duplicated . duplicated = fmap duplicated . duplicated
These are both equivalent to the statement that (->-) is associative
(f ->- g) ->- h = f ->- (g ->- h)
You may of course, choose to define both duplicate
and extend
.
In that case you must also satisfy these laws:
extended f = fmap f . duplicated duplicated = extended id
These are the default definitions of extended
and duplicated
.
