finitary-optics

What's this all about, then?

If a type has an instance of Finitary, we know the type's cardinality n, and can convert any (non-bottom) inhabitant to a value of Finite n. We can use this to inter-convert between these types. This can sometimes be useful.

This library provides some optics (specifically a Prism and an Iso) which help us do this kind of conversion more conveniently.

Sounds good! Can I use it?

We've tested this library on GHCs 8.6.5, 8.8.3 and 8.10.1, on GNU/Linux x86_64. If you use this library on any other platforms, let us know how it goes - especially if something breaks!
