/**
 * The catamorphism is a way of folding a type into a value.
 *
 * **Either**
 *
 * If the either is right than the right function will be executed with
 * the `right` value and the value of the function returned. Otherwise the left function
 * will be called with the `left` value.
 *
 * **Maybe**
 *
 * If the maybe is Some than the right function will be executed with the `some` value and the value of the function
 * returned. Otherwise the left function with be called without an argument.
