This is probably the last chance we have to deprecate the name 'mtl'. Is this actually a problem?

It occurs to me that it's called "mtl" but will be exporting "monads-fd", leaving confusion as to whether "mtl" competes with, supersedes, is superseded by, or is unrelated to "transformers".  If "mtl" exports "monads-fd", then the latter is the case... but is that true?  Which is the point.

I imagined that mtl-2 would re-export all the stuff that is currently defined in mtl, some of which is now implemented in transformers and some in monads-fd. Conrad.
