Alistair Lynn has proposed the following instance:
instance (Monoid r, Monad m) => MonadPlus (ContT r m) where
mzero = ContT $ const $ return mempty
m `mplus` n = ContT $ \ c -> liftM2 mappend (runContT m c) (runContT n c)
but this would also be possible:
instance (MonadPlus m) => MonadPlus (ContT r m) where
mzero = ContT $ const mzero
m `mplus` n = ContT $ \ c -> runContT m c `mplus` runContT n c
Is one of them better?
