Thanks, I try to determine if somethings breaks this week.

That would be nice. Note that I also define that combinator in my
string-combinators package:

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/string-combinators/0.5/doc/html/Data-String-Combinators.html

But it sure would be nice if it was exported by Data.Monoid.

This is the related, still open,  ticket:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3339

Anyone care to revive it?
