Hi!

Your first two cases will be fixed in 7.10, as Applicative finally becomes
a superclass of Monad. I haven't really looked at your third case, so I
can't comment on that. Your fourth case is something I'd really like to see
solved properly (*together* with a better record system), but as you say,
it could be solved separately.

Also, I don't see why it would be a misfeature to have Eq as a superclass
of Ord, or Functor as a superclass of Applicative.
