Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by examining the root mouse package and the existing mouse.collections and mouse.nested groupings, then review how boxed primitive-like, collection, and nested syntaxes are organized. Done would require an agreed package layout and a plan for the incompatible major release.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

RFC

There are a bunch of different syntaxes in the mouse - for boxed primitive-like data types (Int, Long, Boolean, etc), for collections (Map, Set, List, etc), for nested things (F[Either[A, B]], F[Option[A]], etc). And as you probably already guessed, we can combine some of those in groups - mouse.collections, mouse.nested, etc. It'd be a bit nicer from a design perspective, as well as from navigation. But this would require us to do a new major release since that change isn't binary compatible. What do you think about it?
