If it's not clear which is the right way to go, then yes I guess that

The reason being I just hit a case where this would be useful, while
trying to find a nice way to express extensible exceptions.
If we're going to do this, we should make Functor a superclass of Monad.
This is a well-known and annoying wart in the standard libraries that
has not been fixed only because there's no superclass default mechanism.
