The type [()] is very similar to the type Integer and it's quite
different from () because you can count with it. For example:
main = do
count <- mapM print ["Hello","World"]
print $ "You printed " ++ show (length count) ++ " lines"
You can't do that with a IO (). Not that I actually recommend doing this.
