I've thought of this too.
but I dont think there is anything out there
which fits the bill. 
[I'd love someone to please correct me]

btw for any folks out there who are thinking
what the **** are patterns?
http://www.enteract.com/~bradapp/docs/patterns-intro.html

I think it would be a good thing to organise
if anyone is willing to look ta this
(If no-one is interested/ would rather do
this) that person could be me as long as 
folk don't mind waiting a while for results.

One obvious set of "patterns" could be thought of
as the use of different monads.

Unless anyone else wishes to be the contact point
for this (Doug?) I suggest that if anyone has
identified a functional pattern to email a brief 
set of details to (intially) me and I will either
put hem together / forward them.

For a starter we could have

*) Using a monad to hide structure code in such
   a way as parameters are passed implicitly

*) circular programming
