I don't know why all these modules export a mapM that only works for lists, rather than the generic mapM from Traversable.
1. Import of Control.Monad.State et.al. without qualification requires very small version ranges for mtl according to the PVP, which you certainly do not want. 2. Import with hiding is a very bad idea, too, since if mtl will be cleaned up and 'mapM' is no longer re-exported, your imports will break. 3. I switched to 'transformers' completely long ago. It does not re-export any monad helper functions.
