#NaturalTransformation 

type NaturalTransformation :: forall k. (k -> Type) -> (k -> Type) -> Typetype NaturalTransformation f g = forall a. f a -> g a

A type for natural transformations.

A natural transformation is a mapping between type constructors of kind k -> Type, for any kind k, where the mapping operation has no ability to manipulate the inner values.

An example of this is the fromFoldable function provided in purescript-lists, where some foldable structure containing values of type a is converted into a List a.

The definition of a natural transformation in category theory states that f and g should be functors, but the Functor constraint is not enforced here; that the types are of kind k -> Type is enough for our purposes.
