Description

This module supplies a method for writing Biplate instances more easily.

To take an example: 

 data Expr = Var Int | Neg Expr | Add Expr Expr

 instance Typeable Expr where ...

 instance (Typeable a, Uniplate a) => PlateAll Expr a where
   plateAll (Var x  ) = plate Var |- x
   plateAll (Neg x  ) = plate Neg |+ x
   plateAll (Add x y) = plate Add |+ x |+ y

 instance Uniplate Expr where
   uniplate = uniplateAll

The Class
class PlateAll from to where

This class represents going from the container type to the target.

This class should only be constructed with plate, |+ and |-

uniplateAll :: PlateAll a b => a -> (Str b, Str b -> a)
This function is used to write a Uniplate instance from a PlateAll one
The Combinators
plate :: from -> Type from to

The main combinator used to start the chain.

The following rule can be used for optimisation: 

 plate Ctor |- x == plate (Ctor x)
(|+) :: (Typeable item, Typeable to, PlateAll item to) => Type (item -> from) to -> item -> Type from to
the field to the right may contain the target.
(|-) :: Type (item -> from) to -> item -> Type from to
The field to the right does not contain the target. This can be used as either an optimisation, or more commonly for excluding primitives such as Int.
