-An `Applicative` instance for `OptionT[F, ?]`/`EitherT[F, E, ?]`, built without a corresponding `Monad` instance for `F`, would be unlawful, so it's not included. See [https://typelevel.org/cats/guidelines.html#applicative-monad-transformers](the guidelines) for a more detailed explanation.

 As an alternative, using `.toNested` on the monad transformer is recommended, although its `ap` will still be inconsistent with the Monad instance's.`.
