Comment (by ekmett):

 The only reason it doesn't have `Alternative` and `MonadPlus` instances is
 that I didn't think of them! (Similarly, `MonadZip`)

 I have absolutely no objection to adding them. If someone concocts a patch
 to add them to `base`, I'll readily retroactively add them to the `tagged`
 package, and Ryan can incorporate backports of them into `base-orphans`.
