--
-- This module implements bag and set operations on ordered lists. For the
-- purposes of this module, a \"bag\" (or \"multiset\") is a non-decreasing
-- list, whereas a \"set\" is a strictly ascending list. Bags are sorted
-- lists that may contain duplicates, whereas sets are sorted lists that
-- do not contain duplicates.
--
-- Except for the 'nub', 'sort', 'nubSort', and 'isSorted' families of
-- functions, every function assumes that any list arguments are sorted
-- lists. Assuming this precondition is met, every resulting list is also
-- sorted.
--
-- Because 'isect' handles multisets correctly, it does not return results
-- comparable to @Data.List.'Data.List.intersect'@ on them. Thus @isect@
-- is more than just a more efficient @intersect@ on ordered lists. Similar
-- statements apply to other associations between functions this module and
-- functions in @Data.List@, such as 'union' and @Data.List.'union'@.
--
-- All functions in this module are left biased. Elements that appear in
-- earlier arguments have priority over equal elements that appear in later
-- arguments, and elements that appear earlier in a single list have
-- priority over equal elements that appear later in that list.

-- for genSectBy. (Or, turn off certain optimizations and lose speed.)

-- or at least eliminate some indirect jumps. All of the *By functions in

-- | The 'unionAll' computes the union of a (potentially) infinite number
-- of lists, under the assumption that the heads of the inner lists
-- are sorted. The result will duplicate an element as many times as
-- the maximum number of occurrences in any single list. Thus, the result
-- is a set if and only if every inner list is a set.
--
-- The 'unionAll' function is closely related to @'foldr' 'union' []@.
-- The former does not assume that the outer list is finite, whereas
-- the latter does not assume that the heads of the inner lists are sorted.
-- When both sets of assumptions are met, these two functions are
-- equivalent.
--
-- Note that there is no simple way to express 'unionAll' in terms of
-- 'mergeAll' or vice versa on arbitrary valid inputs. They are related
-- via 'nub' however, as @'nub' . 'mergeAll' == 'unionAll' . 'map' 'nub'@.
-- If every list is a set, then @map nub == id@, and in this special case
-- (and only in this special case) does @nub . mergeAll == unionAll@.
--
-- This implementation of 'unionAll' uses a tree of comparisons, and is
-- based on input from Dave Bayer, Heinrich Apfelmus, Omar Antolin Camarena,
-- and Will Ness. See @CHANGES@ for details.
