Strongly +1.

liftAn are partial-application-friendly. They're also very handy to compose with *no arguments* in the style of semantic editor combinators. For instance, `(liftA2.liftA2.liftA2)` lifts a binary function to a binary function that targets three levels deep in applicative functor nesting.

If you want to partially apply a lifted function the f <$> x <*>y <*> z approach doesn't work.

liftMn and liftAn still have a place.
