Just so. But there are lots of languages where the stuff is based on accidental choices of idioms by unknown bodies, and I "[h]ates the lot of [th]em", so I don't want Haskell to go that way. I'm really uneasy at the idea that we should be in favour of rapid changes to libraries; I'd much rather they were developed after a good deal of argument about the mathematical properties.
So, just because nobody has figured out what the "<weeble>" category is, you don't want it? That seems like a silly reason... next you will be asking what mathematical construct "Show" relates to!
