    Lifts function to be wrapped in a container for better composition.

    In other words, it modifies the function's
    signature from:
    ``a -> b``
    to:
    ``Container[a] -> Container[b]``

    This is how it should be used:

    .. code:: python

        >>> from returns.io import IOFailure, IOSuccess
        >>> from returns.pointfree import alt

        >>> def example(argument: int) -> float:
        ...     return argument / 2

        >>> assert alt(example)(IOSuccess(1)) == IOSuccess(1)
        >>> assert alt(example)(IOFailure(4)) == IOFailure(2.0)

    Note, that this function works for all containers with ``.alt`` method.
    See :class:`returns.primitives.interfaces.altable.AltableN` for more info.
