When I load the State module in Hugs, then I can define the function f below, but I do not immediately see exactly what function "return" returns. Explanation welcome.

For example:
  > f [2..4] [6..9]
  [6,7,8,9,6,7,8,9,6,7,8,9]
That is, it just repeats the second argument as many times as the length of the second argument.

import Control.Monad.State

f :: Monad a => a b -> a c -> a c
f x y = x >>= (return y)
