All Monads are Functors

For interest. Here's the defn in the Gofer prelude from 1994:
    
    class Functor f where
        map :: (a -> b) -> (f a -> f b)

    class Functor m => Monad m where
        result    :: a -> m a
        join      :: m (m a) -> m a
        bind      :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b

        join x     = bind x id
        x `bind` f = join (map f x)

    class Monad m => Monad0 m where
        zero   :: m a
