Yes, this has sort-of been agreed upon in a GHC ticket about a year ago: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3339 I had a patch in Darcs, but then came the switch to Git. I ported it to Git, but didn't iron out all the issues. That was quite a while ago so it's currently a bit bitrotten. I don't think it's enough time to get it into 7.2, but since that's largely an unstable release, it wouldn't hurt until 7.4. I'll probably work on it at CamHac in a few weeks.

Personally, I have nothing against mempty (although I agree that mid makes more sense), but I don't like mappend at all. I wonder what happened to the idea of using <> instead of mappend (that's what I always do). I think
a <> b <> c
looks so much better than
a `mappend` b `mappend` c
and it solves the name problem altogether.
