So you don't mind the breaking change in the `either` package?

For the lazy; `either` defines:

> Data.Either.Combinators.fromLeft  :: a -> Either a b -> a 
> Data.Either.Combinators.fromLeft' :: Either a b -> a
(~Right similarly)

Also, packages `MissingH` and `extra` define the consistent

> fromLeft :: Either a b -> a

(don't know if user numbers of those count as significant in any way.)

-1 on both partial and inconsistent total
