Research direction

Start with the existing cats-autowire implementation and its IO-specific entry points; compare how effects, factories, and resources are currently wired. Define done as supporting a common F[_] and checking whether all inputs can use the same effect type, with tests covering both requirements.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

autowire

Currently autowire works only for IO. It would be great if it would:

(a) work for any F[_]
(b) verify (if at all possible?) that all passed effects/factories/resources use the same effect type - or rather, that they can be parametrised with the same effect type
