Overview

This provides the type Batching, an Applicative which defers request-response exchanges of a fixed type, to be performed in a single batch. This means you can write code that appears to issue requests and immediately receive their responses, but process the requests jointly all at once.

This allows for interaction between the requests; for example:

runIdentity $ runBatching
  (\_ v -> Identity $ show <$> vsort v)
  (liftA3 (\x y z -> x ++ y ++ z) (request 2) (request 10) (request 1))
