Description

Why there is no Semigroup instance for generators?

It must be very useful when building composite values such as url:

genUrl :: Gen Text
genUrl = elements ["http", "https"] <> pure "://" <> elements ["ya.ru", "google.pl"]

Research direction

Start by locating the Gen type and its existing instances, then review how generator composition currently works. Implement the requested Semigroup behavior so the genUrl example can compose its parts, and verify that composite generators produce the expected combined values.
