class MonadFailure e m where failure :: e -> m a Why is it called "MonadFailure" (specifically, what's the "Monad" bit doing there)?
Because of 'Monad m' being a superclass of 'MonadFailure e m'.
Here is the class: class Monad m => MonadFailure e m where failure :: e -> m a
Oh ok; I misguidedly took the line at the top to be the class definition. I'd still be interested if such a simple Failure class could be meaningful or useful for mere, say, Applicatives.
I think it is meaningful. -- Nicolas Pouillard http://nicolaspouillard.fr
