Prepend an element to a monadic structure. //! @ingroup group-MonadPlus //! //! Given a monadic structure `xs` and an element `x`, `prepend` returns //! a new monadic structure which is the result of lifting `x` into the //! monadic structure and then combining that (to the left) with `xs`. //! In other words, //! @code //! prepend(xs, x) == concat(lift(x), xs) //! @endcode //! //! For sequences, this has the intuitive behavior of simply prepending //! an element to the beginning of the sequence, hence the name. //! //! > #### Rationale for not calling this `push_front` //! > While `push_front` is the de-facto name used in the standard library, //! > it also strongly suggests mutation of the underlying sequence, which //! > is not the case here. The author also finds that `push_front` //! > suggests too strongly the sole interpretation of putting an //! > element to the front of a sequence, whereas `prepend` is slightly //! > more nuanced and bears its name better for e.g. `hana::optional`. //! //! //! Signature //! --------- //! Given a MonadPlus `M`, the signature is //! @f$ \mathtt{prepend} : M(T) \times T \to M(T) @f$. //! //! @param xs //! A monadic structure that will be combined to the right of the element. //! //! @param x //! An element to combine to the left of the monadic structure. //! //! //! Example //! ------- //! @include example/prepend.cpp #ifdef BOOST_HANA_DOXYGEN_INVOKED constexpr auto prepend = [](auto&& xs, auto&& x) { return tag-dispatched; }; #else template struct prepend_impl : prepend_impl> { }; struct prepend_t { template constexpr auto operator()(Xs&& xs, X&& x) const; }; constexpr prepend_t prepend{}; #endif BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_END #endif // !BOOST_HANA_FWD_PREPEND_HPP
