 In the discussion in #2953 it was concluded that it would be best to have
 separate flags for deriving Functor, Foldable and Traversable. I agree
 with that conclusion, but it seems that it wasn't considered to have
 -XDeriveTraversable imply -XDeriveFunctor and -XDeriveFoldable. I can't
 think of a reason not to want that.
