The basic flow is:

* Split the `Producer` into sub-`Producer`s of up to N elements each, using `Pipes.Group.chunksOf`
* Fold each sub-`Producer` into a list or vector using `Pipes.Group.folds`

Here's the code:

    import Control.Foldl (purely, list)
    import Lens.Family (view)
    import Pipes.Group (Producer, chunksOf, folds)

    example :: Monad m => Int -> Producer a m r -> Producer [a] m r
    example n = purely folds list . view (chunksOf n)

I know that's hard to discover because it spans three separate libraries. I'm working on a cookbook post to teach tricks like these.

In this case, the `Pipes.Group.Tutorial` explains how `chunksOf` works, while the `foldl` library explains how `purely` works.

If you're wondering why `chunksOf` is a lens instead of a function, it's so that you can do things like this:

over (chunksOf 3) (<* yield 0) (each [1..10]) == each [1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 5, 6, 0, 7, 8, 9, 0, 10, 0]

Apologies for what's probably a fairly newbish sort of question: I'm trying to write an efficient pipe for direct-sqlite. While I could run each insert in a separate transaction, this would kill my performance. Thus, I'm trying to find a way of saying "give me everything you have available right now, up to a maximum of N writes".

Nick Partridge pointed me to pipes-group, and chunksOf in particular looks interesting but I'm having some trouble understanding how to use it. Could anyone give me a pointer?

(In this case, it is actually a pipe rather than just a consumer, because I need to notify another part of the system that the write has finished.)

cheers
