val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

map f is the function that maps values of t by f. The order of arguments is for use in function pipelines as fb = fa |> map (fun a -> (* ... *)).

val ($>) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

( $> ) is an infix synonym for map.

val (let+) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

( let+ ) ma f is map f a. This is a binding operator, and is used as let+ a = ma in f a

val (and+) : 'a t -> 'b t -> ('a * 'b) t

( and+ ) ma mb is let+ a = ma in let+ b = mb in return (a, b). This is a binding operator, and it is used as let+ a = ma and+ b = mb in ....
