[reactive] First draft of reactive-tetris

[Robin Green]

fmap actually does the same thing as second (when applied to pairs), so
you can replace second with fmap.

If you want to go insane, you can actually make this redefinition:

import Prelude hiding ((.))

infixr 9 .
(.) :: (Functor f) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
(.) = fmap

and then just use (.) (either infix or bracketed) instead of fmap
throughout.
