using quicklens with tagged datatypes #42

Hi,
I'm using quicklens 1.4.11 and com.softwaremill.common tagging v 2.2.0. I'm unable to modify a value containing tagged datatypes. For example :

    import com.softwaremill.tagging._
    import com.softwaremill.quicklens._
    case class A(data: String)
    sealed trait B
    type C = A @@ B
    case class D(value: C)
    val a: C = A("test").taggedWith[B]
    val d = D(a)
    d.modify(_.value.data).setTo("modified")

This does not compile :

[error]      type mismatch;
[error]       found   : A
[error]       required: C
[error]          (which expands to)  A with AnyRef{type Tag <: B}
[error]      L145:    d.modify(_.value.data).setTo("modified")

I understand why this doesn't compile but I was wondering if there is any way around this.

I also tried using shapeless tagging (it uses a trait instead of a type for tagging) but the issue remains.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I searched open & closed issues but could not find anything relevant.
