comb is essentially the same as something in the Prelude:
it is just (>>=) specialized to Maybe.
(>>=) :: Monad m => m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b

While it may be debatable whether the Monomorphism
Restriction is helpful in compiled code, it is unquestionably
a major nuisance at the GHCi prompt, for this and other
reasons.
I highly recommend that you create a .ghci file in your home
directory containing the line:
:set -XNoMonomorphismRestriction
In my opinion, MR should be off by default in GHCi.
