Yes and no. Depends which list monad you're using. zwApply is the <%>
of one of the list idioms: it corresponds to the 'vectorizing' list monad
whose return is repeat and whose join computes the diagonal of a matrix.
But you're right: library ap for the 'list of successes' monad and zwApply
do not coincide. I tend to use different list functors, depending on what
they're for, so that all the plumbing is correctly cued from the types.

Cheers
