Proposal to solve the `EitherT` problem.

Morning,

Another discussion that didn't reach conclusion: "Proposal to solve the
`EitherT` problem." Let's do some proposal cleanup :-)

That's the one I would recommend.

- Doesn't break anything, and gets rid of the "exception-vs-error"
discussion.

- Not all uses of Either are to distinguish between success and failure,
sometimes it's just a convenient way of short-circuiting.

- Fits in well with all the other transformers of type "MonadT".

- MonadError instance makes possible use as throw-catch-y transformer clear.
