G'day all.

Oh, ye of insufficient genericity. We can do better than that...
import MonadTrans
class (Monad m, Enum i) => MonadCounter i m | m -> i where
bump :: Int -> m i
newtype CounterT i m a = CounterT { runCounterT :: i -> m (a,i) }
instance (Monad m, Enum i) => Monad (CounterT i m) where
return a = CounterT $ \x -> return (a, x)
m >>= k = CounterT $ \x -> do
(a, x') <- runCounterT m x
runCounterT (k a) x'
fail str = CounterT $ \_ -> fail str
instance (Monad m, Enum i) => MonadCounter i (CounterT i m) where
bump k = CounterT $ \x ->
let (next:_) = drop k [x..]
in return (x, next)
instance (Enum i) => MonadTrans (CounterT i) where
lift m = CounterT $ \x -> do
a <- m
return (a, x)
evalCounterT :: (Monad m, Enum i) => CounterT i m a -> i -> m a
evalCounterT m x = do
(a, _) <- runCounterT m x
return a
-- Example code follows
main :: IO ()
main = evalCounterT count 0
count :: CounterT Int IO ()
count = do
x1 <- bump 1
x2 <- bump 5
x3 <- bump 0
x4 <- bump 1
lift (putStrLn $ show [x1,x2,x3,x4])
I'd better get back to work now.
Cheers,
