possible to implement an NFData instance for any Foldable type, and we<br>
can offer a function to help do that:<br>
<br>
data Unit = Unit<br>
<br>
instance Monoid Unit where<br>
mempty = Unit<br>
Unit `mappend` Unit = Unit -- strict in both arguments, unlike ()<br>
<br>
rnfFoldable :: (Foldable f, NFData a) => f a -> ()<br>
rnfFoldable xs = foldMap (\x -> rnf x `seq` Unit) xs `seq` ()<br>
<br>
This could be used like so:<br>
<br>
instance NFData a => NFData (F a) where<br>
rnf = rnfFoldable<br>
<br>
This version forces from left to right. It would be possible to offer<br>
another version that forces from right to left:<br>
<br>
data Unit2 = Unit2<br>
<br>
instance Monoid Unit2 where<br>
mempty = Unit2<br>
x `mappend` Unit2 = x `seq` Unit2<br>
<br>
rnfFoldableRTL :: (Foldable f, NFData a) => f a -> ()<br>
rnfFoldableRTL xs = foldMap (\x -> rnf x `seq` Unit2) xs `seq` ()<br>
