;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This module implements the general mechanism of monads, and provides in
;;; particular an instance of the "store" monad.  The API was inspired by that
;;; of Racket's "better-monads" module (see
;;; <http://planet.racket-lang.org/package-source/toups/functional.plt/1/1/planet-docs/better-monads-guide/index.html>).
;;; The implementation and use case were influenced by Oleg Kysielov's
;;; "Monadic Programming in Scheme" (see
;;; <http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/monad-in-Scheme.html>).
;;;
;;; The store monad allows us to (1) build sequences of operations in the
;;; store, and (2) make the store an implicit part of the execution context,
;;; rather than a parameter of every single function.
;;;
;;; Code:

;; Record type for monads manipulated at run time.
