fromEither on IO

[ChristopherDavenport]

Could there be a function in the companion object fromEither[A](e: Either[Throwable, A]: IO[A] = e.fold(IO.raiseError, IO.pure)

I've been asked if this was a philosophical reason for the lack, so I figured I would pass it along and if you are interested I'd happily draft a PR. I also see how minimal this is that I could understand your lack of desire for it.

I don't think there's really a philosophical reason why we don't have it. Just a general desire for smaller API surface area. I don't have a strong objection to adding it, if there's enough interest.

I’m 👍 for it, I think it’s useful.
