Added documentation about types and revised arrow type specifications.

% groupby_or - collect rows of x into equivalence classes based f

% groupby_or :: ([[1,M]]->A), [[N,M]] -> {[K]->[[L,M]]} :- equality(A).

% IMPORTANT: this version assumes that data is ordered by f, that is,
% only consecutive rows will be grouped together.
