Maybe I should just rephrase my question.
I thought that [| |] was shorthand for putting something in the Quasi Monad,
just like how [ ] is shorthand for putting something in the List Monad.
Now then since I can write something silly like (\x -> [x]) to put a thing
into a list, I thought that I could do (\x -> [|x|]) to put objects into
Quasi.
This *doesn't* work, at least not the way I'd expect, and I was wondering
why.
