Concerning the discussion on Monoid's <>. Since we've stepped on a path of Prelude generalization, what about reimplementing the ++ in terms of Monoid? It's proven to be quite useful in the Snoyman's (of Yesod) classy-prelude http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/classy-prelude/0.5.8/doc/html/Cl... experiment. Just think about it: we don't lose anything, and we get the expected String-like API for working with Text, ByteString and etc, and we also free up the <> operator.
Makes sense. +1 for ++ instead of <>. Both are right-associative, so there are no problems with that. -- Andreas Abel <>< Du bist der geliebte Mensch.
