[Haskell-cafe] Alternative name for return

[Erik Hesselink]

What about `pure`? It's already used in applicative, and has the
motivation that it's embedding a pure value in some context. Since I
don't know the details of your project, I don't know if you need two
names (one for the applicative version, and one for the monadic
version).
