It's been about 8 years since Semigroup was added to base, and one full major GHC version since then.

I feel it is time to release a breaking change and require Semigroup on GrowingAppend, allowing classes that use GrowingAppend to use Semigroup without having to add additional classes.

The documentation for both GrowingAppend states

This should have a Semigroup superclass constraint, however, due to Semigroup only recently moving to base, some packages do not provide instances.

The git blame for this is from 2016

Does anyone have any objections?

made the PR for when it's agreed upon.

I think this is a breaking change so we should probably do a new major release; as a result, it's an opportunity to do more breaking changes
