Just added a couple of data types that I've found useful as free structures, that might benefit from being defined in a unified place.
Applyis constructed based on howNonEmptyis constructed in base: it just convolves a singlef xin front of anAp. It's basically a "non-emptyAp"Plus(which I callListFin this PR) arises from the free monoid of functors combined with:*:/Product, like how Free Monad is the free monoid against:.:/Composeand Free Applicative is the free monoid againstDay.Altarises from the free semigroup of functors combined with:*:, like howApplyis the free semigroup w.r.t.Day.Bindis inspired by iteratees: it can either be "done" with a final computation, or "more" with more computations to consume.I tried to style the API after the exports in Control.Alternative.Free as reference.
Thanks for the great package :)
