That would not only not break code, it would also be a step towards
bringing Monad and Functor closer together. If the change is made, I
think this is the best way.

Seeing Henning's answer - "better expand libraries than importing
outcasts" - I'd be happy with that. It would also make a better case
against the "import Data.Tuple is one char less than defining swap
yourself" argument: if the module is larger, it makes more (often) sense
to import it.

I see and agree. Scratch the Prelude part.
