+ <longdescription>
+ This package provides first class( ) functional references.
+ In addition to the usual operations of getting, setting and composition, plus integration with the state monad, lens families provide some unique features:
+
+ * Polymorphic updating
+
+ * Traversals
+
+ * Cast projection functions to read-only lenses
+
+ * Cast \"toList\" functions to read-only traversals
+
+ * Cast semantic editor combinators to modify-only traversals.
+
+ ( ) For optimal first-class support use the @lens-family@ package with rank 2 / rank N polymorphism.
+ "Lens.Family.Clone" allows for first-class support of lenses and traversals for those who require Haskell 98.
