[Haskell-cafe] Why Kleisli composition is not in the Monad signature?

Hi,
The Monad class makes us define bind (>>=) and unit (return) for our monads.

Why the Kleisli composition (>=>) or (<=<) is not made a part of Monad
class instead of bind (>>=)?

Is there any historical reason behind this?

The bind (>>=) is not as elegant as (>=>), at least as I find it.

Am I missing something?
