Hello,
 
> There are 4 variants of tail:
>
> tail :: [a] -> [a] -- normal
> tailDef :: [a] -> [a] -> [a] -- returns the first argument on []
> tailMay :: [a] -> Maybe [a] -- returns a Nothing
> tailNote :: String -> [a] -> [a] -- crashes, but with a helpful message
> tailSafe :: [a] -> [a] -- returns [] on []

Is there a reason for not having

    tailM :: Monad m => [a] -> m [a]

which, at least for me, is much more useful?
