Any reason not to add an Applicative instance for template haskell's Q (quoting) monad? - Conal

+1

This came up once before - I think the only downside was that Applicative then would have to become a super-class of Quasi.

I've never seen an instance for Quasi aside from Q and IO, but I haven't looked either. I'm guessing the breakage from this would be slight.

I think so too. And the breakage is easy to fix. Also note that Quasi already has a Functor super-class: class (Monad m, Functor m) => Quasi m Adding Applicative will make it complete. Bas

I'm ok with this, if there's a consensus in favour. (Are there any downsides?) If someone is willing to collate responses, check consensus, and send a patch, I'm happy to apply it.
