The class Monad is more specifically a "constructor class" rather than
a type class.
Constructor classes have particular arities (numbers of parameters -
"holes") called "kinds".
Monad is a constructor class with kind :: * -> *
(Write w) - has kind :: * -> *
Write - has kind :: * -> * -> *
(Write w a) - has kind :: *
Thus only the first is compatible with the Monad class.
