I'd prefer to call them stateT, readerT, writerT in order to keep 'state', 
'reader', 'writer' with the restricted types. The restricted type should 
work without type annotations in cases where I really only want type 
'State'. Actually stateT, readerT, writerT are only alternative 
constructors for StateT, ReaderT, WriterT with a restriction on 'm'. We 
might discuss, whether (Monad m) is too restrictive or whether it should 
be only (Functor m).
