Proposal: Add First and Last wrappers around Maybe to Data.Monoid

[Spencer Janssen]

I'd like to note that the behavior for this Maybe instance is quite
different from what you get with MonadPlus.  This seems inconsistent
with respect to the instances of MonadPlus and Monoid for lists.

I realize I'm objecting in the 11th hour, but I think this requires
some consideration.


Cheers,
Spencer Janssen
