As I say, I'm not trying to criticize anyone here, but it seems to be
quite hard to get across to people who have understood and assimilated
this sort of stuff, just how hard it feels to newcomers. We understand
the explanations (we do! really! :-)) but even understanding them, we
are still left with a lack of confidence. It's like being shown a full
set of carpentry tools, having every one explained, but still reaching
for the hammer every time and banging something no matter what we're
trying to do :-)

I had never heard of mapM, or other -M functions. I can't imagine why those would be needed. It seems like pointless duplication.
