[Haskell-cafe] collection monads

[Matthias Fischmann]

another beginners question about monads: given the type

| data (Ix x) => Permutation x = Permutation [x]

i wanted to define

| instance Monad Permutation where
|     return xs = Permutation xs

but of course nothing about the monad class guarantees xs to be of
type list.  the monad class seems unsuitable for holding collections,
and i am inclined to not instantiate permutations.

just to be sure: is there any easy way to do it that i missed?


thanks,
matthias
