why would I need to write a running count this way instead of, for example, a non monadic fold, which would probably result in clearer and faster code?

Maybe my post here will answer some questions like that: http://sigfpe.blogspot.com/2009/01/haskell-monoids-and-their-uses.html

Just wow. Very very nice post. one to keep in the wikis. Thank you *very* much, Dan, for writing this.

Seconded. And I hope, Dan, that you will find time at some point to write about those other things you said at the end that you didn't have time to write about! -- Robin
