Hello,
The Q type:
newtype Q a = Q { unQ :: forall m. Quasi m => m a }
currently has an instance for Monad and Functor. I would like to propose adding an instance for Applicative as well. Note that this also means that the Quasi class needs to get an Applicative superclass:
class (Monad m, Applicative m, Functor m) => Quasi m where ...
Discussion period: 2 weeks.
Regards,
Bas

+1. But wouldn't it be possible to do this without the Applicative superclass, using the Monad instance? Not saying we *should* do that, I'm in favor of your proposal exactly as-is. Michael
