This module, Lens.Simple, just re-exports the main modules from Russell O'Connor's lens-family-core package, the original van Laarhoven lens library. Lens.Simple also re-exports makeLenses and other TH incantations from Dan Burton's associated lens-family-th.

The idea is just to make a lens-family equivalent of import Control.Lens, namely import Lens.Simple -- it's even one character shorter! As an illustration, note that the pong example from the lens library requires only this abbreviating change of imports.

Similarly, when need arises for the unfathomably more sophisticated material in Control.Lens, a change of imports will tend be all that is necessary to begin using them.

It should be kept in mind that the zoom exported here does not use MonadState from mtl but is specialized to Control.Monad.Trans.State.Strict Many of the other lenses and combinators are a bit more specialized than their Control.Lens equivalents: for example, _1 and _2 are here familiarly specialized to act just on real Haskell pairs; with the loss of abstraction we also of course lose the concomitant opaque error messages about Field1 s t a b etc.
