[Haskell-cafe] Simple game: a monad for each player

[Yves Parès]

I answered my own question by reading this monad-prompt example:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/53766

But one issue remains: those examples show how to make play EITHER a human
or an AI. I don't see how to make a human player and an AI play SEQUENTIALLY
(to a TicTacToe, for instance).
