Research direction
The method should be added to the `Alternative` trait in the `cats` library. The implementation is already provided in the issue description. The relevant file is likely `core/src/main/scala/cats/Alternative.scala`. Ensure to import `cats.syntax.all. ` if needed. No additional changes are required.
