Some patches for GHC
Ticket #4834 (closed), which proposes to make Applicative a superclass of Monad, contains a patchbundle for ghc (attachment:ghc_new_monad_hierarchy.dpatch:#4834 (closed)) that adds Applicative instances for all monads in ghc. The patchbundle also includes some auxiliary refactoring patches.
Ian asked if I could create a separate ticket for this patchbundle. So here it is.
It would be great if someone could review these patches.
