+-- Wrapper for DerivingVia
+
+-- | 'GenericBinary' can be used in conjunction with DerivingVia. It is most useful when chaining
+-- types that augment derived instances.
+--
+-- Simple usage with DerivingVia:
+--
+-- @
+-- data Foo = Foo Int String
+--     deriving Generic
+--     deriving Binary via GenericBinary Foo
+-- @
+--
+-- When chaining multiple augmentations:
+--
+-- @
+-- data Foo = Foo Int String
+--     deriving Generic
+--     deriving Binary via Augmentation1 (Augmentation2 (GenericBinary Foo))
+-- @
