Because the primary purpose of fail is to provide for failed pattern
matches, which invoke it with a String representing the pattern match
error.

Dear Cafe,
MonadFail.fail takes String. I wasn't able to find MonadFail for custom error type. Is there any proposals to base?
Let's say Data.Text, which gains popularity with OverloadedStrings extensions.
class MonadFail m where fail :: String -> m a
Why not ? class MonadFail m where fail :: (forall s. IsString s => s) -> m a
class MonadFailWith m s where fail :: s -> m a
