[Haskell-cafe] Monad classes and FreeT

[Nickolay Kudasov]

Hi Alejandro,

That instance (and others) should be in HEAD [1] and will be included in
the next release.

As for considering Free at “the bottom of the stack”, I’m not sure I
understand what you mean. Nonetheless, I think FreeT f m a can be
considered as m actions *delimited* by f actions. Thus Free f a being
simply FreeT f Identity a is just a “sequence” of f actions to be
interpreted.
