// TBD
// When using many different Functors in a complex application, we can easily
// get to a point when we have many nested types that we would like to 'merge',
// like `Task<Option<Task<A>>>` or `Either<E,ReadonlyArray<Either<E,A>>>`
// It would be nice to have a way to 'move up' the similar types in order to
// chain them, like merging the `Task` to have a `Task<Option<A>>` or the
// `Either` to have a `Either<E,ReadonlyArray<A>>`
//
// That's precisely the concept of `traverse`. It will allow us to transform
// a `Option<Task<A>>` to a `Task<Option<A>>` so we can chain it with another
// `Task` for example, or to transform a `ReadonlyArray<Either<E,A>>` to a
// `Either<E,ReadonlyArray<A>>`
