[Haskell-cafe] Can I write this function without doing the action on a different line?

The thing to notice is that we really want to write

    getCurrentDirectory : maybeToList package

but the effect-typing won't let us.

This kludge:

    let x = flip (<$>) in getCurrentDirectory `x` (: maybeToList package)

restores the smile in our haskell, where 'x' can be as imperceptibly
unicoded as desired.
