A Stage that is guaranteed to always produce a h8io.stages.Yield.Some.
Overriding apply to return Yield.Some (instead of the broader Yield) lets the compiler track this guarantee statically, making Fruitful stages safe to use wherever an output value is always expected.
Composes this stage with that, feeding this stage's output into it. See the ''Composition'' section above for what happens when there is no output to feed.

Returns this stage's Evolution without consuming an input.
Returns this stage's Evolution without consuming an input.
Called instead of apply whenever the stage takes part in a run but has nothing to process: the upstream yielded no output, or a binary operator excluded this branch. The evolution must be the one the stage would have returned had it run. Like apply, skip() may perform side effects — a decorator, for instance, may advance or release the inner stage it owns.
