Yes, bring 'em in! But _only_ under their standard name :)
class Category c where
id :: c a a
(.) :: c b c -> c a b -> c a c
subject to the well-known laws
f = id . f = f . id
f . (g . h) = (f . g) . h
Who says category theory isn't for functional programmers? ;)
Unfortunately, the names id and (.) are already taken / give headache
to those that don't like map :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b .
