Following the announcement of lens-family, I'm pleased to announce
lens-family-th 0.1.0.0, a Template Haskell library supplying macros to generate
lens-family lenses for fields of data types declared with record syntax.
Be warned that currently, type signatures are *not* generated alongside the
lens definitions. Type inference should correctly determine the type of the
generated lenses, but I have structured the library code so that in the future,
type signatures can also be generated. Patches welcome!

I cannot help but wonder if it is better to *not* generate type signatures
(or at least have an option not to).
At the moment one can write:
import Lens.Family2.Stock
import Lens.Family2.TH
data Foo a = Foo { _bar :: Int, _baz :: a }
deriving (Show, Read, Eq, Ord)
$(mkLenses ''Foo)
-- | My documentation for the 'bar' lens.
bar :: Lens (Foo a) Int
-- | My documentation for the 'baz' lens.
baz :: LensFamily (Foo a) (Foo a') a a'
I don't know if it is possible to add haddock to functions whose type
signatures are generated by template haskell.
