distributive
============
[](http://travis-ci.org/ekmett/distributive)
This package provides the notion that is categorically dual to `Traversable`.
A `Distributive` `Functor` is one that you can push any functor inside of.
```haskell
distribute :: (Functor f, Distributive g) => f (g a) -> g (f a)
```
Compare this with the corresponding Traversable notion, `sequenceA`.
```haskell
sequenceA :: (Applicative f, Traversable g) => g (f a) -> f (g a)
```
This package includes instances for common types, and includes other methods similar to `traverse` which fuse the use of `fmap`.
We only require `Functor` rather than some dual notion to `Applicative`, because the latter cannot meaningfully exist in Haskell
since all comonoids there are trivial.
