{- From Learn Haskell Fast and Hard : 4.3.1. Maybe is a monad
http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/blog/Haskell-the-Hard-Way/#maybe-monad
Concerning the code below I have the following questions:
1) Are eligibleLet and eligibleEquational operationally equivalent (i.e. perform the same operations) and/or semantically equivalent(i.e. Church-Rosser)?
2) Apart from the return type of Maybe instead of Bool how does eligibleMonad differ from eligibleLet?
Regards,
Pat
