:: Defines the ph monad.
::
:: A complete ph test has type data:(ph ,~). This is a function that
:: accepts a new unix-effect and produces a list of ph-events to inject
:: back into the system. It also produces one of four "next steps":
::
:: %wait: no change; on next unix-effect call this same function.
:: %cont: swap out this test for another one. Mainly useful for
:: the implementation of +bind.
:: %fail: the test has failed.
:: %done: the test has finished successfully.
::
:: When producing %done, you may specify a value. The ph app assumes
:: the value of each whole test will be ~. During the test, though, it
:: may be useful to produce intermediate values.
::
:: We define two additional functions. +return takes a value and
:: produces a test which immediately produces a %done with that value.
::
:: +bind takes a test and a function from the output type of that test
:: to another test. This is useful to link tests together. See
:: lib/ph/tests.hoon for examples of usage.
::
:: You may recognize monad terminology. These functions satisfy the
:: monad laws: If `f` and `g` are the sort of function that go in the
:: second argument to bind and `m` is a test, then:
::
:: (cork pure (curr bind f)) = f
:: (bind m pure) = m
:: ((bind m f) g) = (bind m (bind f g))
::
:: Maintaining these laws requires a particular interpretation of the
:: monad, which the ph app implements in +diff-aqua-effects. Thus,
:: within the ph app the monad laws hold.
