Comment (by supersven):

 Would it make sense to commit this as a small proposal to
 https://prime.haskell.org/, too?

 The Haskell Report 2010 and Prime are very sparse when it comes to
 Functors (only stating the laws).
 E.g.
 https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch6.html#x13-1320006.3.5

 But I think it would be reasonable to get the functions of "core" (i.e.
 base) type classes standardized. :)

 What to you think about this?
