Comment (by jstolarek):

 Replying to [comment:17 ross]:
 > Here's a different suggestion for rebinding that is perhaps more
 analogous to the expression case.  We could consider do and if commands as
 sugar for more primitive commands:
 > {{{
 > do { rec { ss }; ss' } =
 >     do { vs <- (| fixA (\ ~vs -> do { ss; returnA -< vs })|); ss' }
 > }}}

 Can the desugaring of `rec` be viewed as:

 > {{{
 > do { rec { ss }; ss' } =
 >     (| fixA (\ ~vs -> do { ss; returnA -< vs })|) `bind` \ vs -> ss' }
 > }}}

 ?

 I'm working on this new desugaring now, but I'm unable to give any
 estimates of how long it might take.
