Comment (by ekmett):

 These types live in `transformers` so a more appropriate venue is a
 libraries@ request or just an email to Ross Paterson, the `transformers`
 maintainer.

 I personally think they'd be rather nice to have, as they'd fix one of the
 main problems users have coming in to modern Haskell from old tutorials at
 least based on the chatter on #haskell over the years.
