My argument would be that since Monoid is used more commonly, it should get the nice and short name (<>).

If it is defined in Data.Semigroup, then it can be used for both. The only reason Monoid is currently so much more common is because the semigroups package is fairly new. Semigroups are simple and quite ubiquitous. We should be strongly encouraging their use, not discouraging it by creating an awkward namespace clash. Thanks, Yitz
