If we step back, I think the lesson here is that Haskell libraries exist, but the concepts are far enough from what you expect to exist given background knowledge from another programming language.
So what is actually needed is not monad-bool, but the equivalent documentation that makes a programmer which is not an expert in Haskell connect the dots like you did today.
Definitely. We could even set up NotOnHackage: a "package" repository just like Hackage, except the packages are just documentation on why there is no such package. Implementation-wise it's just a wiki; but the idea is about how to organize the wiki. NotOnHackage should be organized and searchable similar to Hackage itself, so that people can look there when nothing looks promising on Hackage. -- Live well, ~wren
