looking for data structure advice

[Graham Klyne]

I apologize... my question was unclear.

It was not the standard MonadPlus class and functions that I was asking 
about, but the specific instance for Maybe (i.e. or_maybe).  As it happens, 
a couple of times in the past couple of weeks, I might have used such a 
function if it were available in the standard libraries.

(Thanks, anyway!)
