[Haskell-cafe] Inferred typing?

[michael rice]

In the code below, is the type returned by the return functions inferred from 
the result type in the function type signature, i.e., just change the result
type to Maybe Int and the code will return a Maybe monad, (Just 4), instead of
a List monad?

=========

import Monad

fn :: [Int] -> [Int]
fn l = mzero `mplus` (return (head l)) `mplus` (return (last l))

================

*Main> :l test5
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test5.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> fn [4,5,6,7,8]
[4,8]
*Main>
