Re-exporting traverse_ from Data.Traversable

[Edward Kmett]

Yes there is.

For existing code if anybody has already explicitly hidden it from
Data.Foldable, so they can work with traverse_ from some specific container
type, they'd now get slapped with it on the backswing by Data.Traversable.

import Data.Foldable hiding (traverse_)
import SomeContainer
import Data.Traversable

main = something that used a monomorphic traverse_ from SomeContainer

This is sort of like how users get hammered with Control.Monad methods from
all of the Control.Monad.Foo modules today, where it can be remarkably hard
to hide all the attempts they make to shove the same fail, join, etc. down
your throat.
