Sometimes we want to accumulate values from some monoid, but have the ability to introduce a "split" which separates values on either side. Only the rightmost split is kept. For example,
a b c | d e | f g h == a b c d e | f g h
In the diagrams graphics framework this is used when accumulating
transformations to be applied to primitive diagrams: the freeze
operation introduces a split, since only transformations occurring
outside the freeze should be applied to attributes.
Documentation
A value of type Split m
is either a single m
, or a pair of
m
's separated by a divider. Single m
's combine as usual;
single m
's combine with split values by combining with the
value on the appropriate side; when two split values meet only
the rightmost split is kept, with both the values from the left
split combining with the left-hand value of the right split.
Data.Monoid.Cut is similar, but uses a different scheme for
composition. Split
uses the asymmetric constructor :|
, and
Cut
the symmetric constructor :||:
, to emphasize the inherent
asymmetry of Split
and symmetry of Cut
. Split
keeps only
the rightmost split and combines everything on the left; Cut
keeps the outermost splits and throws away everything in between.
