I thought a pure value was being returned from the monad. :)

Dear Jurriën.
personally, I like "lift" (which is of course already occupied in Haskell), since an arbitrary value is "lifted" into a monad. (The literature sometimes uses "unit".)

Dear Cafe,
Suppose we now have the opportunity to change the name of the `return` function in Monad, what would be a "better" name for it? (for some definition of better)
N.B. I am _not_ proposing that we actually change the name of `return`. I do currently have the opportunity to pick names for common functions in a non-Haskell related project, so I was wondering if there perhaps is a better name for `return`.
