[Haskell-cafe] For class Monoid; better names than mempty & mappend might have been: mid (mident) & mbinop

[Maciej Wos]

Personally, I have nothing against mempty (although I agree that mid makes
more sense), but I don't like mappend at all. I wonder what happened to the
idea of using <> instead of mappend (that's what I always do). I think

a <> b <> c

looks so much better than

a `mappend` b `mappend` c

and it solves the name problem altogether.
