Might it also be reasonable to provide less mathematical names for some 
classes, and possibly allow users to let the compiler know which ones they 
find more readable? A lot of users would find Mappable more intuitive than 
Functor for example, and the improved error messages might make it more 
practical to call fmap map again.
