Ha! I don't think "pure lazy fp" would be the phrase I would choose to 
describe this code.

An example (from fannkuch):

t <- IO $ \s ->
      case readIntOffAddr# p1# 0# s of
        (# s, p1 #) -> case readIntOffAddr# p1# (n# -# 1#) s of
            (# s, pn #) -> (# s, not (p1 ==# 0# || pn ==# (n# -# 1#)) #)
