I would like to propose these two new functions for Heist.Compiled.
deferManyElse
is useful for showing "no results" or some such message when passed an empty Foldable. I was consideringmaybeDefer
as the name since it's analogous tomaybe
butmaybe
is useful for justMaybe
and not forFoldable
in generic.deferEither
is much likeeither
but for splices. At least my code's full of splices that do DB operations and I need to do something with all the runtime Lefts.I'm not proposing adding any
deferManyElseMap
ordeferEitherMap
, sincedeferEitherMap f a b n
can be written as justdeferEither a b $ f =<< n
. Same goes fordeferManyElseMap
.If it was up to me, I would deprecate both
deferMap
andmayDeferMap
, since they can be substituted withdefer
anddeferMany
, respectively.
