notation for constructing lists.
Hi George,
The compelling reason is that it already exists and is being used, only
under a false and incorrect name. This extension would simply legitimate
the use of layout for stuff that is not a monad, I don't even see a reason
why monads should be so special with their 'do'. This is nothing
overwhelmingly new or creative but just a simple reaction to something
that people in the Haskell community seem to miss.
