Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 Me: "I don't have a test case"
 Neil: "Can you give a complete program, including main."

 I am sorry, wasn't I clear enough?

 Neil: "Are you sure that the monad you are in is IO?"?
 Huh, when did I say "IO"?

 If the test case would have been that easy, I'd have said: "I have a test
 case and this is it." (Of course I tried the above code in another
 monad(State (in my case)).)

 I am sure it's wrong. Creating test cases is not always trivial. I have
 the impression that this system is also for reporting "observations" about
 the system. These "observations" might later be confirmed by other people
 (or by me) with a real test case or a compiler writer might think "Oh, I
 changed something last week", etc.
