- Note: many monads behave poorly with right-to-left order. For

- 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.*)
