I'm not sure I would label it a bad decision, but the concerns here make
sense.
On Mon, Nov 12, 2018, 5:16 AM Jon Fairbairn Daniel Cartwright ANum seems to be just Data.Monoid.Ap.
Also, I can see not wanting to worsen the error messages, though it is
worth pointing out that we already have a Monoid instance with the same
semantics, and a similar potential for confusing error messages. The existence of a previous bad decision doesn’t seem to me to
be a good reason to make another one. --
