Alt overview

The Alt type class identifies an associative operation on a type constructor. It is similar to Semigroup, except that it applies to types of kind * -> *, like Array or Option, rather than concrete types like string or number.

Alt instances are required to satisfy the following laws:

1. Associativity: A.alt(A.alt(fa, ga), ha) <-> A.alt(fa, A.alt(ga, ha))
2. Distributivity: A.map(A.alt(fa, ga), ab) <-> A.alt(A.map(fa, ab), A.map(ga, ab))
