Isomorphism lenses should be better explained

Docs should mention what an isomorphism actually is, and how isomorphism lenses are different from normal lenses in that they don't "zoom in" to view a small piece, they view the whole object in a different form.

This seems like a cop-out, and it is, but I didn't try to put a proper explanation of isomorphisms in there because I had no idea what an isomorphism was until you told me. So I thought you should be the one to explain them in the docs.

That's quite alright, this is definitely something I plan to do myself. When I do though I'd like you to review it thoroughly to let me know if the explanation is grok-able.
