Thanks.  That make sense.

How about "exposeIO" for a name then?  It references the fact that it exposes 
the underlying IO monad.  Or even "peakIO", "glimpseIO", "teaseIO", or so on, 
as it is not a full exposure, but just enough to apply combinators.

Really though, as you (or someone else) said, it would seem to be a pretty 
basic as useful functionality that any of the monad transfers should expose 
(in this universally quantified way) the monad they are built upon.
