Style #9
Constraints:
-
Existence of an abstraction to which values can be converted.
-
This abstraction provides operations to (1) wrap around values, so that they become the abstraction; (2) bind itself to functions, so to establish sequences of functions; and (3) unwrap the value, so to examine the final result.
-
Larger problem is solved as a pipeline of functions bound together, with unwrapping happening at the end.
-
Particularly for The One style, the bind operation simply calls the given function, giving it the value that it holds, and holds on to the returned value.
Possible names:
- The One
- Monadic Identity
- The wrapper of all things
- Imperative functional style
