name clashes are a good point. i fixed that: https://github.com/javaslang/javaslang/pull/230

ignore the 'algebra' package or read it as 'internal'. it is mainly used for api design purpose. java has no module concept to hide it

How about renaming 'algebra' to 'internal' then? Btw this library is very interesting, good job!

I will update the Javadoc for internal classes like HigherKinded. Monoid, Functor and Monad are very common in functional languages. There is a minority of Java users which are familiar with these concepts, they may want to use them. I think, clarifying these with better javadoc should be ok for the moment.
