instance Applicative Data.Map

[Edward Kmett]

There is also Data.Functor.Bind which provides a 'semimonad' (perhaps that
would have been a better name) for Map and other types that can't offer
'pure' as well.

The originally were added because many comonads cannot offer an identity to
their apply-like operation, but then we started finding more
semiapplicatives and semimonads that weren't comonadic, like Map, etc.

I think Daniel Peebles was the first to spot the Bind instance for Map, and
by extension the Apply instance.
