@implicitNotFound messages should be provided for every typeclass.

A quick grep revealed that there are about 100 typeclasses which need explanation. That explanation should generally include:

  • what the typeclass is used for, and why you might need to make a choice
  • where to import one from and what a sensible default might be, or
  • how to construct one

We can start by storing them all in a package whose name is derived from the name of the typeclass. For example Identifiable instances should be kept in a the identifiables package—not enumIdentification.
