		A library to support the definition of generic functions.
		Datatypes are viewed in a uniform, structured way:
		the choice between constructors is represented using an n-ary
		sum, and the arguments of each constructor are represented using
		an n-ary product.
		
		The module "Generics.SOP" is the main module of this library and contains
		more detailed documentation.
		
		Examples of using this library are provided by the following
		packages:
		
		* @&lt;https://hackage.haskell.org/package/basic-sop basic-sop&gt;@ basic examples,
		
		* @&lt;https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pretty-sop pretty-sop&gt;@ generic pretty printing,
		
		* @&lt;https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-sop lens-sop&gt;@ generically computed lenses,
		
		* @&lt;https://hackage.haskell.org/package/json-sop json-sop&gt;@ generic JSON conversions.
		
		A detailed description of the ideas behind this library is provided by
		the paper:
		
		* Edsko de Vries and Andres Löh.
