17	/// `forall a. Pointed f => a -> f a`
18	///
19	/// ### Type Parameters
20	///
21	/// * `A`: The type of the value to wrap.
22	///
23	/// ### Parameters
24	///
25	/// * `a`: The value to wrap.
26	///
27	/// ### Returns
28	///
29	/// A new context containing the value.
30	///
31	/// ### Examples
32	///
33	/// ```
34	/// use fp_library::classes::pointed::Pointed;
35	/// use fp_library::brands::OptionBrand;
36	///
37	/// let x = OptionBrand::pure(5);
38	/// assert_eq!(x, Some(5));

63/// * `a`: The value to wrap.
64///
65/// ### Returns
66///
