Gradient-based traversal through parameter space.

This implementation of HMC algorithm uses lens as a means to operate over generic indexed traversable functors, so you can expect it to work if your target function takes a list, vector, map, sequence, etc. as its argument.

If you don't want to calculate your gradients by hand you can use the handy ad library for automatic differentiation.

Exports a mcmc function that prints a trace to stdout, as well as a hamiltonian transition operator that can be used more generally.
