[Haskell-cafe] Lifting Writer to ListT

[Arjun Comar]

You might prefer using the ListT
<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pipes-4.1.4/docs/Pipes.html#g:5>
implementation from the Pipes package which has instances for MonadReader,
MonadWriter, and MonadState already. Also, the provided source might give
you some insight into how to write these instances for the list-t:ListT
type.
