Utilities for composing functions in Typed Racket

Typed Racket's compose only takes two arguments, because in general it is difficult to specify that the return types and the argument types should be the same for two successive functions in the argument list. This package defines some further utilities to allow compose-ing more than two functions more comfortable in Typed Racket.

Contributing

Contributions, comments, bug reports, etc. are very welcome!

For ethical reasons, I prefer not to host this package on GitHub. Luckily, Git allows creating and submitting patches by E-mail very easily. Here is a simple workflow that you can use to contribute to this library.

Submitting patches

Start by checking out this repository:

git clone https://git.marvid.fr/scolobb/typed-compose.git
cd typed-compose

Start a new branch my-contribution for you contribution:

git checkout -b my-contribution

Hack hack hack, do a couple commits, maybe take a look at a list of the commits your branch my-contribution contains:

git log --pretty=oneline master..my-contribution

Now create one patch file for every commit added to branch my-contribution, which is new with respect to master:

git format-patch master

This should produce one patch file for commit, e.g. 0001-Commit-1.patch, 0002-Commit-2.patch, etc. Send all of these files to me to scolobb at marvid.fr, or to any other address you think you can contact me at. I will give you feedback and we will work together towards getting your changes in, which is a fancy way of saying that I will probably take in your changes without too much hassle if they follow some very basic style guidelines. Speaking of which:

Style guidelines

When submitting changes, try to make them as similar as possible in style to the existing code, which approximately follows the style used across the Racket code base. If you use Emacs with Racket Mode or DrRacket, you should be fine with default settings.

When adding new code, please consider updating the Scribble documentation typed-compose.scrbl accordingly. I believe that good documentation is more important than good code, because with good docs you can at least know how to fix the whole thing.
