    Good question. Basically, I see MonadPlus as a union of Monad and
Alternative. The class should not exist at all. But as long as it does, I
figured I should provide an instance, and I made it different from the
Monoid+Alternative combination because otherwise it would be useless. My
second choice would be to remove the instance completely.
