type (
	// Either represents a value of one of two possible types (a disjoint union).
	// An instance of Either is either Left (representing an error) or Right (representing a success).
	Either[E, A any] = either.Either[E, A]

	// Reader represents a computation that depends on some context/environment of type R
	// and produces a value of type A. It's useful for dependency injection patterns.
	Reader[R, A any] = reader.Reader[R, A]

	// ReaderIO represents a computation that depends on some context R and performs
	// side effects to produce a value of type A.
	ReaderIO[R, A any] = readerio.ReaderIO[R, A]

	// IOEither represents a computation that performs side effects and can either
	// fail with an error of type E or succeed with a value of type A.
	IOEither[E, A any] = ioeither.IOEither[E, A]

	// ReaderIOEither represents a computation that:
	//   - Depends on some context/environment of type R (Reader)
	//   - Performs side effects (IO)
	//   - Can fail with an error of type E or succeed with a value of type A (Either)
	//
	// It combines three powerful functional programming concepts:
	//   1. Reader monad for dependency injection
	//   2. IO monad for side effects
	//   3. Either monad for error handling
	//
	// Type parameters:
	//   - R: The type of the context/environment (e.g., configuration, dependencies)
	//   - E: The type of errors that can occur
	//   - A: The type of the success value
	//
	// Example:
	//   type Config struct { BaseURL string }
	//   func fetchUser(id int) ReaderIOEither[Config, error, User] {
	//       return func(cfg Config) IOEither[error, User] {
	//           return func() Either[error, User] {
	//               // Use cfg.BaseURL to fetch user
	//               // Return either.Right(user) or either.Left(err)
	//           }
	//       }
	//   }
	ReaderIOEither[R, E, A any] = Reader[R, IOEither[E, A]]

	// Operator represents a transformation from one ReaderIOEither to another.
	// It's a Reader that takes a ReaderIOEither[R, E, A] and produces a ReaderIOEither[R, E, B].
	// This type is commonly used for composing operations in a point-free style.
	//
	// Type parameters:
	//   - R: The context type
	//   - E: The error type
	//   - A: The input value type
	//   - B: The output value type
	//
	// Example:
	//   var doubleOp Operator[Config, error, int, int] = Map(func(x int) int { return x * 2 })
	Operator[R, E, A, B any] = reader.Reader[ReaderIOEither[R, E, A], ReaderIOEither[R, E, B]]
