Comment (by chshersh):
Alternative naming option would be `NonEmptyFoldable` or `FoldableNE` or
something similar. But this is either long or non-uniform. `Foldable1` is
good enough. And we probably won't need type classes like `Eq1` and
`Show1` in future since we have `QuantifiedConstraints` landed in GHC. In
some moment of time they can be deprecated and removed. So we only need to
prepare for StackOverflow and Reddit questions like ''Why `Eq1` and
`Show1` are different from `Eq` and `Show` in not the same way as
`Foldable1` from `Foldable`?''. But I guess this is manageable.
