// Composes multiple compositional "steps" and a "base" to form a property
// descriptor out of modular building blocks. This is an extension to the
// more general-purpose CacheableObject property descriptor syntax, and
// aims to make modular data processing - which lends to declarativity -
// much easier, without fundamentally altering much of the typical syntax
// or terminology, nor building on it to an excessive degree.
//
// Think of a composition as being a chain of steps which lead into a final
// base property, which is usually responsible for returning the value that
// will actually get exposed when the property being described is accessed.
//
// == The compositional base: ==
//
// The final item in a compositional list is its base, and it identifies
// the essential qualities of the property descriptor. The compositional
// steps preceding it may exit early, in which case the expose function
// defined on the base won't be called; or they will provide dependencies
// that the base may use to compute the final value that gets exposed for
// this property.
//
// The base indicates the capabilities of the composition as a whole.
// It should be {expose: true}, since that's the only area that preceding
// compositional steps (currently) can actually influence. If it's also
// {update: true}, then the composition as a whole accepts an update value
// just like normal update-flag property descriptors - meaning it can be
// set with `thing.someProperty = value` and that value will be paseed
// into each (implementing) step's transform() function, as well as the
// base. Bases usually aren't {compose: true}, but can be - check out the
// section on "nesting compositions" for details about that.
//
// Every composition always has exactly one compositional base, and it's
// always the last item in the composition list. All items preceding it
// are compositional steps, described below.
//
// == Compositional steps: ==
//
// Compositional steps are, in essence, typical property descriptors with
// the extra flag {compose: true}. They operate on existing dependencies,
// and are typically dynamically constructed by "utility" functions (but
// can also be manually declared within the step list of a composition).
// Compositional steps serve two purposes:
//
//  1. exit early, if some condition is matched, returning and exposing
//     some value directly from that step instead of continuing further
//     down the step list;
//
//  2. and/or provide new, dynamically created "private" dependencies which
//     can be accessed by further steps down the list, or at the base at
//     the bottom, modularly supplying information that will contribute to
//     the final value exposed for this property.
//
// Usually it's just one of those two, but it's fine for a step to perform
// both jobs if the situation benefits.
//
// Compositional steps are the real "modular" or "compositional" part of
// this data processing style - they're designed to be combined together
// in dynamic, versatile ways, as each property demands it. You usually
// define a compositional step to be returned by some ordinary static
// property-descriptor-returning function (customarily namespaced under
// the relevant Thing class's static `composite` field) - that lets you
// reuse it in multiple compositions later on.
//
// Compositional steps are implemented with "continuation passing style",
// meaning the connection to the next link on the chain is passed right to
// each step's compute (or transform) function, and the implementation gets
// to decide whether to continue on that chain or exit early by returning
// some other value.
//
// Every step along the chain, apart from the base at the bottom, has to
// have the {compose: true} step. That means its compute() or transform()
// function will be passed an extra argument at the end, `continuation`.
// To provide new dependencies to items further down the chain, just pass
// them directly to this continuation() function, customarily with a hash
// ('#') prefixing each name - for example:
//
//   compute({..some dependencies..}, continuation) {
//     return continuation({
//       '#excitingProperty': (..a value made from dependencies..),
//     });
//   }
//
// Performing an early exit is as simple as returning some other value,
// instead of the continuation. You may also use `continuation.exit(value)`
// to perform the exact same kind of early exit - it's just a different
// syntax that might fit in better in certain longer compositions.
//
// It may be fine to simply provide new dependencies under a hard-coded
// name, such as '#excitingProperty' above, but if you're writing a utility
// that dynamically returns the compositional step and you suspect you
// might want to use this step multiple times in a single composition,
// it's customary to accept a name for the result.
//
// Here's a detailed example showing off early exit, dynamically operating
// on a provided dependency name, and then providing a result in another
// also-provided dependency name:
//
//   withResolvedContribs = ({
//     from: contribsByRefDependency,
//     into: outputDependency,
//   }) => ({
//     flags: {expose: true, compose: true},
//     expose: {
//       dependencies: [contribsByRefDependency, 'artistData'],
//       compute({
//         [contribsByRefDependency]: contribsByRef,
//         artistData,
//       }, continuation) {
//         if (!artistData) return null;  /* early exit! */
//         return continuation({
//           [outputDependency]:  /* this is the important part */
//             (..resolve contributions one way or another..),
//         });
//       },
//     },
//   });
//
// And how you might work that into a composition:
//
//   Track.coverArtists =
//     compositeFrom([
//       doSomethingWhichMightEarlyExit(),
//
//       withResolvedContribs({
//         from: 'coverArtistContribsByRef',
//         into: '#coverArtistContribs',
//       }),
//
//       {
//         flags: {expose: true},
//         expose: {
//           dependencies: ['#coverArtistContribs'],
//           compute: ({'#coverArtistContribs': coverArtistContribs}) =>
//             coverArtistContribs.map(({who}) => who),
//         },
//       },
//     ]);
//
// One last note! A super common code pattern when creating more complex
// compositions is to have several steps which *only* expose and compose.
// As a syntax shortcut, you can skip the outer section. It's basically
// like writing out just the {expose: {...}} part. Remember that this
// indicates that the step you're defining is compositional, so you have
// to specify the flags manually for the base, even if this property isn't
// going to get an {update: true} flag.
//
// == Cache-safe dependency names: ==
//
// [Disclosure: The caching engine hasn't actually been implemented yet.
//  As such, this section is subject to change, and simply provides sound
//  forward-facing advice and interfaces.]
//
// It's a good idea to write individual compositional steps in such a way
// that they're "cache-safe" - meaning the same input (dependency) values
// will always result in the same output (continuation or early exit).
//
// In order to facilitate this, compositional step descriptors may specify
// unique `mapDependencies`, `mapContinuation`, and `options` values.
//
// Consider the `withResolvedContribs` example adjusted to make use of
// two of these options below:
//
//   withResolvedContribs = ({
//     from: contribsByRefDependency,
//     into: outputDependency,
//   }) => ({
//     flags: {expose: true, compose: true},
//     expose: {
//       dependencies: ['artistData'],
//       mapDependencies: {contribsByRef: contribsByRefDependency},
//       mapContinuation: {outputDependency},
//       compute({
//         contribsByRef, /* no longer in square brackets */
//         artistData,
//       }, continuation) {
//         if (!artistData) return null;
//         return continuation({
//           outputDependency: /* no longer in square brackets */
//             (..resolve contributions one way or another..),
//         });
//       },
//     },
//   });
//
// With a little destructuring and restructuring JavaScript sugar, the
// above can be simplified some more:
//
//   withResolvedContribs = ({from, to}) => ({
//     flags: {expose: true, compose: true},
//     expose: {
//       dependencies: ['artistData'],
//       mapDependencies: {from},
//       mapContinuation: {into},
//       compute({artistData, from: contribsByRef}, continuation) {
//         if (!artistData) return null;
//         return continuation({
//           into: (..resolve contributions one way or another..),
//         });
//       },
//     },
//   });
//
// These two properties let you separate the name-mapping behavior (for
// dependencies and the continuation) from the main body of the compute
// function. That means the compute function will *always* get inputs in
// the same form (dependencies 'artistData' and 'from' above), and will
// *always* provide its output in the same form (early return or 'to').
//
// Thanks to that, this `compute` function is cache-safe! Its outputs can
// be cached corresponding to each set of mapped inputs. So it won't matter
// whether the `from` dependency is named `coverArtistContribsByRef` or
// `contributorContribsByRef` or something else - the compute function
// doesn't care, and only expects that value to be provided via its `from`
// argument. Likewise, it doesn't matter if the output should be sent to
// '#coverArtistContribs` or `#contributorContribs` or some other name;
// the mapping is handled automatically outside, and compute will always
// output its value to the continuation's `to`.
//
// Note that `mapDependencies` and `mapContinuation` should be objects of
// the same "shape" each run - that is, the values will change depending on
// outside context, but the keys are always the same. You shouldn't use
// `mapDependencies` to dynamically select more or fewer dependencies.
// If you need to dynamically select a range of dependencies, just specify
// them in the `dependencies` array like usual. The caching engine will
// understand that differently named `dependencies` indicate separate
// input-output caches should be used.
//
// The 'options' property makes it possible to specify external arguments
// that fundamentally change the behavior of the `compute` function, while
// still remaining cache-safe. It indicates that the caching engine should
// use a completely different input-to-output cache for each permutation
// of the 'options' values. This way, those functions are still cacheable
// at all; they'll just be cached separately for each set of option values.
// Values on the 'options' property will always be provided in compute's
// dependencies under '#options' (to avoid name conflicts with other
// dependencies).
//
// == To compute or to transform: ==
//
// A compositional step can work directly on a property's stored update
// value, transforming it in place and either early exiting with it or
// passing it on (via continuation) to the next item(s) in the
// compositional step list. (If needed, these can provide dependencies
// the same way as compute functions too - just pass that object after
// the updated (or same) transform value in your call to continuation().)
//
// But in order to make them more versatile, compositional steps have an
// extra trick up their sleeve. If a compositional step implements compute
// and *not* transform, it can still be used in a composition targeting a
// property which updates! These retain their full dependency-providing and
// early exit functionality - they just won't be provided the update value.
// If a compute-implementing step returns its continuation, then whichever
// later step (or the base) next implements transform() will receive the
// update value that had so far been running - as well as any dependencies
// the compute() step returned, of course!
//
// Please note that a compositional step which transforms *should not*
// specify, in its flags, {update: true}. Just provide the transform()
// function in its expose descriptor; it will be automatically detected
// and used when appropriate.
//
// It's actually possible for a step to specify both transform and compute,
// in which case the transform() implementation will only be selected if
// the composition's base is {update: true}. It's not exactly known why you
// would want to specify unique-but-related transform and compute behavior,
// but the basic possibility was too cool to skip out on.
//
// == Nesting compositions: ==
//
// Compositional steps are so convenient that you just might want to bundle
// them together, and form a whole new step-shaped unit of its own!
//
// In order to allow for this while helping to ensure internal dependencies
// remain neatly isolated from the composition which nests your bundle,
// the compositeFrom() function will accept and adapt to a base that
// specifies the {compose: true} flag, just like the steps preceding it.
//
// The continuation function that gets provided to the base will be mildly
// special - after all, nothing follows the base within the composition's
// own list! Instead of appending dependencies alongside any previously
// provided ones to be available to the next step, the base's continuation
// function should be used to define "exports" of the composition as a
// whole. It's similar to the usual behavior of the continuation, just
// expanded to the scope of the composition instead of following steps.
//
// For example, suppose your composition (which you expect to include in
// other compositions) brings about several private, hash-prefixed
// dependencies to contribute to its own results. Those dependencies won't
// end up "bleeding" into the dependency list of whichever composition is
// nesting this one - they will totally disappear once all the steps in
// the nested composition have finished up.
//
// To "export" the results of processing all those dependencies (provided
// that's something you want to do and this composition isn't used purely
// for a conditional early-exit), you'll want to define them in the
// continuation passed to the base. (Customarily, those should start with
// a hash just like the exports from any other compositional step; they're
// still dynamically provided dependencies!)
//
// Another way to "export" dependencies is by using calling *any* step's
// `continuation.raise()` function. This is sort of like early exiting,
// but instead of quitting out the whole entire property, it will just
// break out of the current, nested composition's list of steps, acting
// as though the composition had finished naturally. The dependencies
// passed to `raise` will be the ones which get exported.
//
// Since `raise` is another way to export dependencies, if you're using
// dynamic export names, you should specify `mapContinuation` on the step
// calling `continuation.raise` as well.
//
// An important note on `mapDependencies` here: A nested composition gets
// free access to all the ordinary properties defined on the thing it's
// working on, but if you want it to depend on *private* dependencies -
// ones prefixed with '#' - which were provided by some other compositional
// step preceding wherever this one gets nested, then you *have* to use
// `mapDependencies` to gain access. Check out the section on "cache-safe
// dependency names" for information on this syntax!
//
// Also - on rare occasion - you might want to make a reusable composition
// that itself causes the composition *it's* nested in to raise. If that's
// the case, give `composition.raiseAbove()` a go! This effectively means
// kicking out of *two* layers of nested composition - the one including
// the step with the `raiseAbove` call, and the composition which that one
// is nested within. You don't need to use `raiseAbove` if the reusable
// utility function just returns a single compositional step, but if you
// want to make use of other compositional steps, it gives you access to
// the same conditional-raise capabilities.
//
// Have some syntax sugar! Since nested compositions are defined by having
// the base be {compose: true}, the composition will infer as much if you
// don't specifying the base's flags at all. Simply use the same shorthand
// syntax as for other compositional steps, and it'll work out cleanly!
