I don't think so. Instances are automatically propagated, they can't be
hidden once they're in scope. Functor, Monad, Either and (->) are all
available in the Prelude, so unless you have NoImplicitPrelude, the
instances ought to be in scope from any transitive dependency.
And they are in scope for me when I import Control.Monad.Error or
Control.Applicative, so something is amiss if they're not in scope for you.
