[Haskell-cafe] simple state monad exercises? (besides labeling trees)

I used the State monad to implement a Brainfuck [1] interpreter a few
months ago. It stored the program counter, pointer and the memory of
the machine.

There might have been a different (better?) way, but as I was trying
to learn more about monads, it was an obvious choice.
