Comment (by ekmett):
Currently it is demanded by the report and backwards compatibility.
It is worth evaluating whether we can eliminate such re-exports from
Control.Monad in the future, but such would require a good deal of
community buy-in.
I for one would support ultimately removing the redundant re-exports from
Control.Monad and all over the `mtl` should such a thing be put to a poll
/ proposal. They were a repeated thorn in our side when we were trying to
figure out if we even _could_ do something like offer alternate Preludes,
etc.
