That's a good run down of the "why". The thing is, there's way more things that are monads than things that have to be looked at as monads. AFAIK it only comes up directly when you're using something like
IO
orState
where the monad functions are irreversible.From the compiler end, are there optimisations that make use of the monadic structure of, say, a list?
