PROPOSAL: Make Applicative a superclass of Monad

Hi

2 days is not enough time :-)

I disagree, its a breaking change from Haskell 98. It also means that
if you want to provide syntactic sugar for do notation, i.e. my Test
monad, you have to jump through more hoops.

Haskell' is about fixing existing practice, if it did go in, you would
need some mechanism (i.e. class aliases) to ensure that it didn't
break code.

Thanks
