// Package predicate provides functional programming utilities for working with predicates.
//
// A predicate is a function that takes a value and returns a boolean, commonly used
// for filtering, validation, and conditional logic. This package offers combinators
// for composing predicates using logical operations (And, Or, Not), transforming
// predicates via ContraMap, and combining multiple predicates using Semigroup and
// Monoid abstractions.
//
// Key features:
//   - Boolean combinators: And, Or, Not
//   - ContraMap for transforming predicates
//   - Semigroup and Monoid instances for combining predicates
//
// Example usage:
//
//	import P "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/predicate"
//
//	// Create predicates
//	isPositive := func(n int) bool { return n > 0 }
//	isEven := func(n int) bool { return n%2 == 0 }
//
//	// Combine predicates
//	isPositiveAndEven := F.Pipe1(isPositive, P.And(isEven))
//	isPositiveOrEven := F.Pipe1(isPositive, P.Or(isEven))
//	isNotPositive := P.Not(isPositive)
