+add RequestResolver.aroundRequests api
+
+This can be used to run side effects that introspect the requests being
+executed.
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+import { Effect, Request, RequestResolver } from "effect";
+
+interface GetUserById extends Request.Request<unknown> {
+  readonly id: number;
+}
+
+declare const resolver: RequestResolver.RequestResolver<GetUserById>;
+
+RequestResolver.aroundRequests(
+  resolver,
+  (requests) => Effect.log(`got ${requests.length} requests`),
+  (requests, _) => Effect.log(`finised running ${requests.length} requests`),
+);
+```
