Thanks very much for the clarifications.  It's clear and elegant,
although I wonder about concrete use-cases.

I found that adding multiple values to Maybe in the current
implementation required very little additional code; I doubt Either
would be much more work.  There are some questions about the
conversion functions that would have to be resolved, but it’s easy
to modify the core functions.
