I want to use 'mapM' on Data.Vector.Vector, but it looks like the only 'mapM' defined is in Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic. I'm able to use 'stream' and 'liftStream' to convert a 'Vector' to a monadic stream, on which I can use 'mapM'. But I couldn't find a way to convert the monadic stream back to Vector without using an intermediate list. I don't think I understand the internal of monadic stream that much. But it looks not so fusion to me. Is it the only way back to Vector?
Unfortunately, it's not at all clear to me how to implement mapM on vectors/arrays without going through an intermediate list for arbitrary monads (it's easy for ST and IO). The next version of vector will include mapM and friends but it will probably be implemented much like you describe, with appropriate specialisations for ST and IO.

Thanks for the reply. I am using it for 'Either a', but I guess the performance wouldn't be worse than 'mapM' on an Array. I am OK with it. - jxy -- J c/* __o/* X <\ * (__ Y */\ <
