  • But it is possible to derive using a newtype of a tuple with its arguments reversed: Flip (,) s. If we get the (Biapplicative bi, Monoid b) => Applicative (Flip bi b) instance (issue). It will require a constraint to restrict m to have a representational argument because otherwise we cannot coerce through it.
