+ //! Tap inside a monadic chain.
+ //! @ingroup group-Monad
+ //!
+ //! Given a function `f`, `tap<M>` returns a new function which performs
+ //! `f` on its argument and then returns the argument lifted in the `M`
+ //! `Monad`. Combined with the property that `chain(m, lift<M>) == m`,
+ //! this provides a way of executing an action inside a monadic chain
+ //! without influencing its overall result. This is useful to e.g. insert
+ //! debug statements or perform actions that are not tied to the chain but
+ //! that need to be executed inside of it.
+ //!
+ //! @note
+ //! Since C++ is not a pure language, it is possible to perform side
+ //! effects inside the `f` function. Actually, side effects are the
+ //! only reason why one might want to use `tap`. However, one should
+ //! not rely on the side effects being done in any specific order.
+ //!
+ //!
+ //! @tparam M
+ //! The tag (a `Monad`) of the monads in the tapped monadic chain.
+ //!
+ //! @param f
+ //! A function to be executed inside a monadic chain. It will be called
+ //! as `f(x)`, where `x` is a value inside the previous monad in the
+ //! chain. The result of `f` is always discarded.
+ //!
+ //!
+ //! Example
+ //! -------
+ //! @include example/tap.cpp
