Comment(by nominolo):
Getting rid of `mappend` would break a ''lot'' of packages, so that will
take a while. Also, what should happen to `mconcat`? The naming of
`mappend` makes somewhat sense, because `[a]` is the free Monoid, so
`mconcat` is just the extension of that naming strategy. Should `mconcat`
stay as is, or can anyone think of a better name?
