HaskellDB takes a similar approach. It's "Query" monad allows you to
build queries which are then translated to SQL by a "runQuery"
function. Could your bind operation collect the 'input' expressions
and then output them all at once via a "runTranslation" function? Do
you have to do in-place translation?
