-- - You should not have both a @From@ instance and a @TryFrom@ instance for
|
||||
-- the same pair of types.

|
||||
-- - If you have a @From@ or @TryFrom@ instance for a pair of types, then
|
||||
-- you should probably have a @From@ or @TryFrom@ instance for the same
|
||||
-- pair of types but in the opposite direction. In other words if you have
|
||||
-- @From a b@ then you should have @From b a@ or @TryFrom b a@.

|

-- In general if @s@ /is/ a @t@, then you should add a 'Witch.From.From'
|
||||
-- instance for it. But if @s@ merely /can be/ a @t@, then you could add a
|
||||
-- 'Witch.TryFrom.TryFrom' instance for it. And if it is technically
|
||||
-- possible to convert from @s@ to @t@ but there are a lot of caveats, you
|
||||
-- probably should not write any instances at all.

|
||||
-- ** Laws
|
||||
-- | As the previous section notes, there aren't any cut and dried laws for
|
||||
-- the @From@ and @TryFrom@ type classes. However it can be useful to
|
||||
-- consider the following equations for guiding instances:
|
||||
--
|
||||
-- > -- same strictness
|
||||
-- > seq (from @a @b x) y = seq x y
|
||||
-- > seq (tryFrom @a @b x) y = seq x y
|
||||
--
|
||||
-- > -- round trip
|
||||
-- > from @b @a (from @a @b x) = x
|
||||
--
|
||||
-- > -- transitive
|
||||
-- > from @b @c (from @a @b x) = from @a @c x
|
||||
-- > tryFrom @b @a (from @a @b x) = Right x
|
||||
-- > if isRight (tryFrom @a @b x) then
|
||||
-- > fmap (from @b @a) (tryFrom @a @b x) = Right x
|
||||
-- > if isRight (tryFrom @a @b x) then do
|
||||
-- > fmap (tryFrom @b @a) (tryFrom @a @b x) = Right (Right x)

-- ** Integral types
|
||||
-- | There are a lot of types that represent various different ranges of
|
||||
-- integers, and Witch may not provide the instances you want. In particular
