I would like to propose these two new functions for Heist.Compiled.
deferManyElseis useful for showing "no results" or some such message when passed an empty Foldable. I was consideringmaybeDeferas the name since it's analogous tomaybebutmaybeis useful for justMaybeand not forFoldablein generic.deferEitheris much likeeitherbut for splices. At least my code's full of splices that do DB operations and I need to do something with all the runtime Lefts.I'm not proposing adding any
deferManyElseMapordeferEitherMap, sincedeferEitherMap f a b ncan be written as justdeferEither a b $ f =<< n. Same goes fordeferManyElseMap.If it was up to me, I would deprecate both
deferMapandmayDeferMap, since they can be substituted withdeferanddeferMany, respectively.
