    The bool function allows folding over boolean values.

    This is comparable to the maybe or either functions on their respective types.

    The bool function is a replacement for the build-in if then else-syntax. However, since it is a function, it can be partially applied and passed around to higher order functions, like so:

    ghci> :m + Data.Bool.Extras
    ghci> let yesOrNo = bool "no" "yes"
    ghci> map yesOrNo [True, False, True]
    ["yes", "no", "yes"]

    Note that the arguments to bool are in the opposite order of the if then else-syntax; First the false value, then the true value, and finally the boolean.
