Actually, on looking at the code for my monad, it turns out I do.
I spent awhile trying to figure out how to make a monad that could lift
IO, and was also an instance of both MonadCont (so I could do
call-with-current-continuation) and MonadFix (so I could do letrec the
way I wanted it). I use CPS, and my implementation of mfix actually uses
newIORef, writeIORef and readIORef directly. But I'd forgotten...
