Contravariant is a "Contravariant functor". In other word, Contravariant is the dual of a Functor.

Laws

To have a predictable behaviour, the instance of Contravariant must obey some laws.

  1. contramap id = id
  2. (contramap f) % (contramap g) = contramap (g & f)

Minimal definition

module type WITH_CONTRAMAP = sig ... end

The minimum definition of a Contravariant. It is by using the combinators of this module that the other combinators will be derived.
