Servant endpoints compatible with Rails's ActiveResource.

ActiveResource is a Rails library for representing resources from a RESTful API as Ruby objects, with a similar interface to the Rails ActiveRecord ORM.

This library provides types for describing such APIs, and functions to help implement Servant-style servers that provide them.

-- The exact monad used will depend on your program. Here, we just
-- assume 'Handler' from package servant-server.
