Hi all,
I would like to reuse some streaming functions from the turtle package in the context \
of the servant streaming handler.

Relevant references:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle-1.6.1/docs/Turtle-Shell.html
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle-1.6.1/docs/Turtle-Prelude.html
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-0.20/docs/Servant-Types-SourceT.html

As a simple example:

Turtle.Prelude.ls function represents stream of FilePaths (directory listing of some \
path) ls :: FilePath -> Shell FilePath

Servant streaming is based around SourceT IO a, for example:
type ListFiles = "ls" :> StreamGet NewlineFraming PlainText (SourceT IO FilePath)

The problem is that the streaming (Shell a) is not exactly the same as servant's \
(SourceT IO a). But as far as I understand, they both represent "stream of values of \
type 'a'". My question is: Is a generic conversion function possible? Something like:

shellToSource :: forall a. Shell a -> SourceIO a
shellToSource = ??

... such that I could reuse the 'ls' and write a streaming servant handler like this:

listFilesHandler :: Handler (SourceIO FilePath)
listFilesHandler = pure $ shellToSource $ Turtle.Prelude.ls "somePath"

Appreciate any suggestion.

regards,
Zoran
