Provide a builder
Could you please tell me if you think that trivial builder like the below could be a good addition to the lib?
import Prelude
import Foreign.Object (Object)
import Record.Unsafe (unsafeSet) as Record.Unsafe
import Unsafe.Coerce (unsafeCoerce)
newtype Builder a = Builder (Object a → Object a)
instance semigroupBuilder ∷ Semigroup (Builder a) where
append (Builder b1) (Builder b2) = Builder (b1 <<< b2)
instance monoidBuilder ∷ Monoid (Builder a) where
mempty = Builder identity
insert ∷ ∀ a. String → a → Builder a
insert k v = unsafeCoerce (Record.Unsafe.unsafeSet k v)
build ∷ ∀ a. Builder a → Object a
build (Builder b) = b (unsafeCoerce {})
Of course this kind of builder is not stack safe (as @garyb pointed out under nearly identical issue here: https://github.com/purescript/purescript-arrays/pull/162 :-)).
