Description

Is there any way to compose only PathModifies?

Something like following:

case class A(b:B)
case class B(c:C)
case class C(value:Int)
val a = A(B(C(0)))
val mod1 = a.modify(_.b)
val mod2 = mod1.somecomposefunction(_.c)
mod2.setTo(C(1))

I know that you can compose functions of U => PathModify[U, V] but I want to know if there is a way to compose PathModifys directly.

Research direction

Start by locating the PathModify type and its existing composition support, then compare it with the known composition of functions from U to PathModify[U,V]. Use the nested A, B, and C example in the issue to define what direct composition should support and verify that the composed modifier can set C(1).
