+Package constraints defines a set of useful type constraints for generic programming in Go.
+
+# Overview
+
+This package provides type constraints that can be used with Go generics to restrict
+type parameters to specific categories of types. These constraints are similar to those
+in Go's standard constraints package but are defined here for consistency within the
+fp-go project.
+
+# Type Constraints
+
+Ordered - Types that support comparison operators:
+
+	type Ordered interface {
+	    Integer | Float | ~string
+	}
+
+Used for types that can be compared using <, <=, >, >= operators.
+
+Integer - All integer types (signed and unsigned):
+
+	type Integer interface {
+	    Signed | Unsigned
+	}
+
+Signed - Signed integer types:
+
+	type Signed interface {
+	    ~int | ~int8 | ~int16 | ~int32 | ~int64
+	}
+
+Unsigned - Unsigned integer types:
+
+	type Unsigned interface {
+	    ~uint | ~uint8 | ~uint16 | ~uint32 | ~uint64 | ~uintptr
+	}
+
+Float - Floating-point types:
+
+	type Float interface {
+	    ~float32 | ~float64
+	}
+
+Complex - Complex number types:
+
+	type Complex interface {
+	    ~complex64 | ~complex128
+	}
+
+# Usage Examples
+
+Using Ordered constraint for comparison:
+
+	import C "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/constraints"
+
+	func Min[T C.Ordered](a, b T) T {
+	    if a < b {
+	        return a
+	    }
+	    return b
+	}
+
+	result := Min(5, 3)        // 3
+	result := Min(3.14, 2.71)  // 2.71
+	result := Min("apple", "banana")  // "apple"
+
+Using Integer constraint:
+
+	func Abs[T C.Integer](n T) T {
+	    if n < 0 {
+	        return -n
+	    }
+	    return n
+	}
+
+	result := Abs(-42)  // 42
+	result := Abs(uint(10))  // 10
+
+Using Float constraint:
+
+	func Average[T C.Float](a, b T) T {
+	    return (a + b) / 2
+	}
+
+	result := Average(3.14, 2.86)  // 3.0
+
+Using Complex constraint:
+
+	func Magnitude[T C.Complex](c T) float64 {
+	    r, i := real(c), imag(c)
+	    return math.Sqrt(r*r + i*i)
+	}
+
+	c := complex(3, 4)
+	result := Magnitude(c)  // 5.0
+
+# Combining Constraints
+
+Constraints can be combined to create more specific type restrictions:
+
+	type Number interface {
+	    C.Integer | C.Float | C.Complex
+	}
+
+	func Add[T Number](a, b T) T {
+	    return a + b
+	}
+
+# Tilde Operator
+
+The ~ operator in type constraints means "underlying type". For example, ~int

+// Ordered is a constraint that permits any ordered type: any type that supports
+// the operators < <= >= >. Ordered types include integers, floats, and strings.
+//
+// This constraint is commonly used for comparison operations, sorting, and
+// finding minimum/maximum values.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func Max[T Ordered](a, b T) T {
+//	    if a > b {
+//	        return a
+//	    }
+//	    return b
+//	}
 type Ordered interface {
 	Integer | Float | ~string
 }
 
+// Signed is a constraint that permits any signed integer type.
+// This includes int, int8, int16, int32, and int64, as well as any
+// types whose underlying type is one of these.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func Negate[T Signed](n T) T {
+//	    return -n
+//	}
 type Signed interface {
 	~int | ~int8 | ~int16 | ~int32 | ~int64
 }
 
+// Unsigned is a constraint that permits any unsigned integer type.
+// This includes uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, and uintptr, as well
+// as any types whose underlying type is one of these.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func IsEven[T Unsigned](n T) bool {
+//	    return n%2 == 0
+//	}
 type Unsigned interface {
 	~uint | ~uint8 | ~uint16 | ~uint32 | ~uint64 | ~uintptr
 }
 
+// Integer is a constraint that permits any integer type, both signed and unsigned.
+// This is a union of the Signed and Unsigned constraints.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func Abs[T Integer](n T) T {
+//	    if n < 0 {
+//	        return -n
+//	    }
+//	    return n
+//	}
 type Integer interface {

+// Float is a constraint that permits any floating-point type.
+// This includes float32 and float64, as well as any types whose
+// underlying type is one of these.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func Round[T Float](f T) T {
+//	    return T(math.Round(float64(f)))
+//	}
 type Float interface {

+//
+// The codec uses a refinement (prism) that:
+//   - Decodes: Validates that the input is not the zero value of type T
+//   - Encodes: Returns the value unchanged (identity function)
+//   - Validates: Ensures the value is non-zero/non-default
+//
+// This is useful for enforcing that required fields have meaningful values rather than
+// their default zero values, which often represent "not set" or "missing" states.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: A comparable type (must support == and != operators)
+//
+// Returns:
