The more general question, which stems from a certain degree of ignorance on my part, is what uses folks have found for Alternative at all outside of parsing.

Alternative is the generalization of MonadPlus, so empty and <|> are useful for lists and Maybe at least. But I'm not sure whether

   many :: Alternative f => f a -> f [a]

and friends have any uses outside of parsing.
