May I humbly suggest you explain what problem you are actually trying to
solve here?  I've never felt the need to hide monadic binding behind
fancy syntax, defining some combinator was always sufficient.  I mean...
if you want C, you know where to find it.  If possible I'd rather not
see the same programming "style" in Haskell.
