Note: many monads behave poorly with right-to-left order. For
instance a failure monad would still have to traverse the
whole list in order to fail and failure needs to be propagated
through the rest of the list in binds which are now
spurious. It is also the worst case for substitution monads
(aka free monads), exposing the quadratic behaviour.*)
