+// Package builder provides a functional, immutable HTTP request builder with composable operations.
+// It follows functional programming principles to construct HTTP requests in a type-safe,
+// testable, and maintainable way.
+//
+// The Builder type is immutable - all operations return a new builder instance rather than
+// modifying the existing one. This ensures thread-safety and makes the code easier to reason about.
+//
+// Key Features:
+//   - Immutable builder pattern with method chaining
+//   - Lens-based access to builder properties
+//   - Support for headers, query parameters, request body, and HTTP methods
+//   - JSON and form data encoding
+//   - URL construction with query parameter merging
+//   - Hash generation for caching
+//   - Bearer token authentication helpers
+//
+// Basic Usage:
+//
+//	import (
+//	    B "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/http/builder"
+//	    F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+//	)
+//
+//	// Build a simple GET request
+//	builder := F.Pipe2(
+//	    B.Default,
+//	    B.WithURL("https://api.example.com/users"),
+//	    B.WithHeader("Accept")("application/json"),
+//	)
+//
+//	// Build a POST request with JSON body
+//	builder := F.Pipe3(
+//	    B.Default,
+//	    B.WithURL("https://api.example.com/users"),
+//	    B.WithMethod("POST"),
+//	    B.WithJSON(map[string]string{"name": "John"}),
+//	)

+//	// Build a request with query parameters
+//	builder := F.Pipe3(
+//	    B.Default,

+//	    B.WithQueryArg("q")("golang"),
+//	    B.WithQueryArg("limit")("10"),
+//	)
+//
+// The package provides several convenience functions for common HTTP methods:
+//   - WithGet, WithPost, WithPut, WithDelete for setting HTTP methods
+//   - WithBearer for adding Bearer token authentication
+//   - WithJSON for JSON payloads
+//   - WithFormData for form-encoded payloads
+//
+// Lenses are provided for advanced use cases:
+//   - URL, Method, Body, Headers, Query for accessing builder properties
+//   - Header(name) for accessing individual headers
+//   - QueryArg(name) for accessing individual query parameters

+// FromZero creates an isomorphism between a comparable type T and Option[T].
+// The isomorphism treats the zero value of T as None and non-zero values as Some.
+//
+// This is particularly useful for types where the zero value has special meaning
+// (e.g., 0 for numbers, "" for strings, nil for pointers) and you want to represent
+// the absence of a meaningful value using Option.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: A comparable type (must support == and != operators)
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - An Iso[T, Option[T]] where:
+//   - Get: Converts T to Option[T] (zero value → None, non-zero → Some)
+//   - ReverseGet: Converts Option[T] to T (None → zero value, Some → unwrapped value)
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Get direction: If the value equals the zero value of T, returns None; otherwise returns Some(value)
+//   - ReverseGet direction: If the Option is None, returns the zero value; otherwise returns the unwrapped value
+//
+// Example with integers:
+//
+//	isoInt := FromZero[int]()
+//	opt := isoInt.Get(0)        // None (0 is the zero value)
+//	opt = isoInt.Get(42)        // Some(42)
+//	val := isoInt.ReverseGet(option.None[int]())  // 0
+//	val = isoInt.ReverseGet(option.Some(42))      // 42
+//
+// Example with strings:
+//
+//	isoStr := FromZero[string]()
+//	opt := isoStr.Get("")       // None ("" is the zero value)
+//	opt = isoStr.Get("hello")   // Some("hello")
+//	val := isoStr.ReverseGet(option.None[string]())  // ""
+//	val = isoStr.ReverseGet(option.Some("world"))    // "world"

+// Example with pointers:
+//
+//	isoPtr := FromZero[*int]()
+//	opt := isoPtr.Get(nil)      // None (nil is the zero value)
+//	num := 42
+//	opt = isoPtr.Get(&num)      // Some(&num)
+//
+// Use cases:
+//   - Converting between database nullable columns and Go types
+//   - Handling optional configuration values with defaults
+//   - Working with APIs that use zero values to indicate absence
+//   - Simplifying validation logic for required vs optional fields
+//
+// Note: This isomorphism satisfies the round-trip laws:
+//   - ReverseGet(Get(t)) == t for all t: T
+//   - Get(ReverseGet(opt)) == opt for all opt: Option[T]

+// Package option provides utilities for working with lenses that focus on optional values.
+//
+// This package extends the lens optics pattern to handle Option types, enabling safe
+// manipulation of potentially absent values in nested data structures. It provides
+// functions for creating, composing, and transforming lenses that work with optional
+// fields.
+//
+// # Core Concepts
+//
+// A LensO[S, A] is a Lens[S, Option[A]] - a lens that focuses on an optional value A
+// within a structure S. This is particularly useful when dealing with nullable pointers,
+// optional fields, or values that may not always be present.
+//
+// # Key Functions
+//
+// Creating Lenses from Optional Values:
+//   - FromNillable: Creates a lens from a nullable pointer field
+//   - FromNillableRef: Pointer-based version of FromNillable
+//   - FromPredicate: Creates a lens based on a predicate function
+//   - FromPredicateRef: Pointer-based version of FromPredicate
+//   - FromOption: Converts an optional lens to a definite lens with a default value
+//   - FromOptionRef: Pointer-based version of FromOption
+//   - FromNullableProp: Creates a lens with a default value for nullable properties
+//   - FromNullablePropRef: Pointer-based version of FromNullableProp
+//
+// Composing Lenses:
+//   - ComposeOption: Composes a lens returning Option[A] with a lens returning B
+//   - ComposeOptions: Composes two lenses that both return optional values
+//
+// Conversions:
+//   - AsTraversal: Converts a lens to a traversal for use with traversal operations
+//
+// # Usage Examples
+//
+// Working with nullable pointers:
+//
+//	type Config struct {
+//	    Database *DatabaseConfig
+//	}
+//
+//	type DatabaseConfig struct {
+//	    Host string
+//	    Port int
+//	}
+//
+//	// Create a lens for the optional database config
+//	dbLens := lens.FromNillable(lens.MakeLens(
+//	    func(c Config) *DatabaseConfig { return c.Database },
+//	    func(c Config, db *DatabaseConfig) Config { c.Database = db; return c },
+//	))
+//
+//	// Access the optional value
+//	config := Config{Database: nil}
+//	dbOpt := dbLens.Get(config) // Returns None[*DatabaseConfig]
+//
+//	// Set a value
+//	newDB := &DatabaseConfig{Host: "localhost", Port: 5432}
+//	updated := dbLens.Set(O.Some(newDB))(config)
+//
+// Composing optional lenses:
+//
+//	// Lens to access port through optional database
+//	portLens := lens.MakeLensRef(
+//	    func(db *DatabaseConfig) int { return db.Port },

+// # Design Patterns
+//
+// The package follows functional programming principles:
+//   - Immutability: All operations return new values rather than modifying in place
+//   - Composition: Lenses can be composed to access deeply nested optional values
+//   - Type Safety: The type system ensures correct usage at compile time
+//   - Lawful: All lenses satisfy the lens laws (get-put, put-get, put-put)
+//
+// # Performance Considerations
+//
+// Lens operations are generally efficient, but composing many lenses can create
+// function call overhead. For performance-critical code, consider:
+//   - Caching composed lenses rather than recreating them
+//   - Using direct field access for simple cases
+//   - Profiling to identify bottlenecks

+// AsTraversal converts a Lens[S, A] to a Traversal[S, A] for optional values.
+//
+// A traversal is a generalization of a lens that can focus on zero or more values.
+// This function converts a lens (which focuses on exactly one value) into a traversal,
+// allowing it to be used with traversal operations like mapping over multiple values.
+//
+// This is particularly useful when you want to:
+//   - Use lens operations in a traversal context
+//   - Compose lenses with traversals
+//   - Apply operations that work on collections of optional values
+//
+// The conversion uses the Option monad's map operation to handle the optional nature
+// of the values being traversed.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - S: The structure type containing the field
+//   - A: The type of the field being focused on
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a Lens[S, A] and returns a Traversal[S, A]
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	type Config struct {
+//	    Timeout Option[int]
+//	}
+//
+//	timeoutLens := lens.MakeLens(
+//	    func(c Config) Option[int] { return c.Timeout },
+//	    func(c Config, t Option[int]) Config { c.Timeout = t; return c },
+//	)
+//
+//	// Convert to traversal for use with traversal operations
+//	timeoutTraversal := lens.AsTraversal[Config, int]()(timeoutLens)
+//
+//	// Now can use traversal operations
+//	configs := []Config{{Timeout: O.Some(30)}, {Timeout: O.None[int]()}}
+//	// Apply operations across all configs using the traversal
