In my opinion, this is not as nice as the do-notation version, but at
least it's compositional:

    print <=< (<$> getLine) . (,) <=< const getLine $ ()

I do think there is value in favoring Kleisli composition for a lot of
code. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't tend to work out so nicely
for IO.
