I'm trying to write a generic record updater which will allow one to easily update fields in an `existing` record, with fields in a similarly shaped `incoming` record. Here is what I have till now:

```
applyUpdater fields existing incoming =
  let getters = DL.map (^.) fields
      setters = DL.map set fields
      updaters = DL.zipWith (,) getters setters
  in DL.foldl' (\updated (getter, setter) -> setter (getter incoming) updated) existing updaters

```

And I wish to use it in the following manner:

```
applyUpdater 
  [email, notificationEnabled] -- the fields to be copied from incoming => existing (this obviously assumed that `name` and `email` lenses have already been setup
  User{name="saurabh", email="blah@blah.com", notificationEnabled=True}
  User{name="saurabh", email="foo@bar.com", notificationEnabled=False}

```

This doesn't work, probably because Haskell infers a very weird type signature for `applyUpdater` which means it it not doing what I'm expecting it to do:

```
applyUpdater :: [ASetter t1 t1 a t] -> t1 -> Getting t (ASetter t1 t1 a t) t -> t1

```

Here's a code-sample and the compile error:

```
module TryUpdater where
import Control.Lens
import GHC.Generics
import Data.List as DL

data User = User {_name::String, _email::String, _notificationEnabled::Bool} deriving (Eq, Show, Generic)
makeLensesWith classUnderscoreNoPrefixFields ''User

-- applyUpdater :: [ASetter t1 t1 a t] -> t1 -> Getting t (ASetter t1 t1 a t) t -> t1
applyUpdater fields existing incoming =
  let getters = DL.map (^.) fields
      setters = DL.map set fields
      updaters = DL.zipWith (,) getters setters
  in DL.foldl' (\updated (getter, setter) -> setter (getter incoming) updated) existing updaters

testUpdater :: User -> User -> User
testUpdater existingUser incomingUser = applyUpdater [email, notificationEnabled] existingUser incomingUser

```

Compile error:
