Proposal: newtype for applicatives of monoids

[Oleg Grenrus]

There is also http://hackage.haskell.org/package/free-4.12.1/docs/Control-Applicative-Free.html#t:Ap <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/free-4.12.1/docs/Control-Applicative-Free.html#t:Ap>, which is totally different thing, yet related to Applicative.

reducers Ap has getApp field name, which is probably copy&paste mistake:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/reducers-3.10.3.2/docs/Data-Semigroup-Applicative.html#t:Ap <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/reducers-3.10.3.2/docs/Data-Semigroup-Applicative.html#t:Ap>

In that light I’d prefer
- Appl with getAppl,
- Ap unchanged in free package
- App left free
