It would be easier for beginners to "grok".
I think that assumes that all beginners have a strong foundation in
algebra. Although it does have the advantage that the names are as
abstract as the class.
As pointed out earlier in this list, the name of the class and the
methods are inconsistent. Monoid refers to a general algebraic
structure, whereas mempty and mappend refer to certain instances like lists.
