Interesting. Do you plan to write some examples that show

   * how to use ListArrows,
   * differences to using the list monad, and
   * when using ListArrow is preferrable?

I'm interested to see something like this worked out although I have  
some rough ideas like "monads are more powerful and arrows may allow  
stronger reasoning and more efficient implementations". Can you  
substantiate these general points for the concrete case of ListArrow  
vs list monad?

I assume your implementation is *not* more efficient than the list  
monad as it builds on ListT.
