Why not just:
secret :: a -> Classification String a secret = Classification "xyzzy"
The password string isn't part of the type, it doesn't even necessarily exist at compile time. You might have just got confused between type and data constructors for a moment.
But now I want to be able to process the secret monadically: mySecret = secret "Jimmy Hoffa is buried under the 50-yd line in the Meadowlands" do secretData <- mySecret return (length secretData) How do I define "return" so that it will put the password back, and how do I define "(>>=)" so that the password won't be accessible within the do-block?
