William Carroll 6b456c1b7a Massive configuration overhaul
Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage.

Here's what has changed.

- Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk
- Dropping support for i3
- Supporting EXWM
- Many Elisp modules
- Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs

;;; maybe.el --- Library for dealing with nil values -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;;; Commentary:
;; Inspired by Elm's Maybe library.
;;
;; For now, a Nothing value will be defined exclusively as a nil value. I'm
;; uninterested in supported falsiness in this module even at risk of going
;; against the LISP grain.
;;
;; I'm avoiding introducing a struct to handle the creation of Just and Nothing
;; variants of Maybe. Perhaps this is a mistake in which case this file would
;; be more aptly named nil.el. I may change that. Because of this limitation,
;; functions in Elm's Maybe library like andThen, which is the monadic bind for
;; the Maybe type, doesn't have a home here since we cannot compose multiple
;; Nothing or Just values without a struct or some other construct.
;;
;; Possible names for the variants of a Maybe.
;; None | Some
;; Nothing | Something
;; None | Just
;; Nil | Set
;;
;; NOTE: In Elisp, values like '() (i.e. the empty list) are aliases for nil.
;; What else in Elisp is an alias in this way?
;; Examples:
;; TODO: Provide examples of other nil types in Elisp.
