  Added a first version of the new monad library (experimental).
  Hopefully one day the "X" will disappear.
What's the policy on adding large directory trees of experimental code to 
existing libraries like base?

Some obvious options:

1) Go right ahead - no need to mark it specially

2) Go right ahead but be sure to use an X prefix to warn people - we'll delete 
the X once it is finalized.

3) It'd be better to do the development in a separate library tree
    such as fptools/libraries/newmonads.

   a) And give it a name like Unsafe.Control.Monad.Cont
   b) And give it a name like Org.Diatchki.Control.Monad.Cont
   c) And give it a name like Control.Monad.Cont

I lean towards either (1) or (3) and can't decide between 3a/b/c.

(3) seems most in keeping with the push for a library infrastructure.
