Zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms

Zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms are an intentionally overcomplicated combination of recursion-schemes concepts that started as a joke[1].

Used when you really need both semi-mutual recursion and history and to repeatedly apply a natural transformation as you get deeper into the functor. Zygo implements semi-mutual recursion like a zygomorphism. Para gives you access to your result à la paramorphism.

  -> t

zygoHistoPrepro f g t = gprepro (distZygoT f distHisto) g t
-- unless you want a generalized zygomorphism.
