I have the exact same issues with Alternative. My frisby parser library[1] is incompatable with the way Alternative is defined. It is particularly irksome because I have users that want to use the applicative syntax, but the Alternative definitions get in the way. Even if we don't get rid of it, moving many,some, etc.. into the class itself would be an improvement. But as was mentioned, it is quite unclear whether sensible definitions exist for all things we may want to be in alternative, or even what belongs in alternative at all.
