How to access Data.Functor.Of?

Question

I am trying to use the length function of the streaming-bytestring Data.ByteString.Streaming.Char8 library.

I see that the return value has type Of, but I am not clear on how to examine it. I tried using case, but the compiler says Not in scope: data constructor ‘O.Of’, even if I do a qualified import of Data.Functor.Of.

How do I examine the value?

Code sample:

ghci> let bs = BSSC.string "tiger"            
ghci> bs                                                   
Chunk "tiger" (Empty (()))                                            
ghci> BSSC.length bs                 
6 :> ()                                  
ghci> let len = BSSC.length bs
ghci> :t len
len :: Monad m => m (OO.Of Int ())

Answer 1

The constructor of Of is called (:>):

-- | A left-strict pair; the base functor for streams of individual elements.
data Of a b = !a :> b
    deriving (Data, Eq, Foldable, Ord,
              Read, Show, Traversable, Typeable, Generic, Generic1)
infixr 5 :>

so you should be able to do something like

n :> _ <- length bs
