[Haskell-cafe] Grok Monad Transformers - some help needed

You can :load *.lhs into ghci the same way you load .hs-files.

I'm not sure why you were getting the ambiguous type errors. I didn't:

test1 :: StateT Integer Identity (Integer, Integer)
test2 :: StateT [Char] Identity ([Char], [Char])
test3 :: StateT Integer (StateT [Char] Identity) (Integer, [Char])
test5 :: StateT Integer IO ()
test7 :: StateT Integer (StateT [Char] Identity) (Integer, [Char])

Hope that helps.
Arseniy.
