In general this is a minor problem.  Note that when using a monad from
another library usually you get provided with a type alias (or even a
newtype) and a number of convenience functions, so you don't have to
access names from both libraries at the same time.

I can only speak for myself, but I've never had a problem with this,
even though my packages often have lots and lots of dependencies.
