SemigroupK

SemigroupK is a universal semigroup which operates on kinds.

This type class is useful when its type parameter F[_] has a structure that can be combined for any particular type. Thus, SemigroupK is like a Semigroup for kinds (i.e. parameterized types).

A SemigroupK[F] can produce a Semigroup[F[A]] for any type A.

Here's how to distinguish Semigroup and SemigroupK:

Semigroup[A] allows two A values to be combined.
SemigroupK[F] allows two F[A] values to be combined, for any A. The combination operation just depends on the structure of F, but not the structure of A.

Self Type: SemigroupK[F]
