Research direction

Start with docs/scalacheck.md, especially the linked example around lines 46-53, and inspect how ScalaCheck Gen is currently used there. Determine the required Cats instances and combinators for expressing the example with product or tupled; done means the supported composition works out of the box and the documentation example reflects it.

Which is a reasonable setup IMO. Personally I'm just missing some of the handy combinators for composition. E.g. it would be nice to express that example using .product or .tupled instead of needing the multi-line for ... yield.

There's options like cats-scalacheck but it would be very convenient to be able to do this out-of-the-box.
