I was actually not suggesting to drop the e.left() method but instead the Either.left(val). Renaming the left(), right() methods might be confusing as than it would be inconsistent with the scala version.
On the other hand we could change the way the user can create the Left Right classes, maybe directly expose them instead of the static method.
