I'm personally -1 on this.
A large portion of the community is vehemently against adding new partial
functions, and they have to share base with the rest of us. I'd say more
people want to remove fromMaybe, head, tail, etc. than want to double down
on the pattern at this time.

When working with Either, I am often missing two simple functions: fromRight :: Either a b -> b fromLeft :: Either a b -> a
It has been implemented a couple of times: http://hayoo.fh-wedel.de/?query=fromRight
But I don't want to depend on yet another library for such a basic function.
Could it be added?
