[Haskell-cafe] What is <-

[Markus Läll]

Hi Michael,

although I never used it myself, lists seem strange in the way that when
combining list monads, then all the values go through the chain one by one
-- x will be 1 first, then 2, then 3 and so on.. Try it out, to see. (I
think the result is then also a list of all combinations of results.)
