No, the problem is that >>= on monads has no constraints, it must have the type
> LI a -> (a -> LI b) -> LI b

This is a common problem with trying to use do-notation; there are
some cases where you can't make the object an instance of Monad.  The
same problem holds for Data.Set; you'd can write

setBind :: Ord b => Set a -> (a -> Set b) -> Set b
setBind m f = unions (map f $ toList m)

but there is no way to use setBind for a definition of >>=
