[Haskell-beginners] Abstracting Data.List

[Giacomo Tesio]

fmap is a much more general concept.. I just want to be able to use map (or
another term, like project) over "enhanced" lists. Such "enhanced" lists
aren't Monads, btw, because I can't write a meaningful return/unit
function: to put the list in context, I always need a context to be
provided.
