It's been pointed out to me that I've completely missed OP's question
(which is really about variable names and their scope), my bad.
OP linked to sigfpe's article, which is what I should have been critiquing.
Dan has contributed a lot of good material about Haskell, and I follow his
blog closely. But the Trivial Monad article really isn't one of his best,
and he perpetuates the faulty "wrapping" metaphor that seriously hampers
Haskell productivity.
I'll write later explaining why and provide a better substitute.

No reason other than that I'm more familiar with Array. Upon inspection of
Data.Vector
it looks like that would indeed be a better choice.

Thank Brent. That confirms my own choice :-).
