Hi Martin
If you are building syntax as a sequence of commands (or statements) a
common idiom is to collect them with a Writer monad.
Andy Gill's Dotgen on Hackage is a nice realization of this idiom. See the
how example included in the package has acceptably nice syntax without
obliging the implementation to use complex facilities such as Template
Haskell.
In the source code, the data type GraphElement represents the main
statement types in GraphViz's "dot" language.
The data type Dot is the monad - here a combination of a Writer monad and a
State monad, with the State monad supplying unique integers for fresh
identifiers. The monad is written as a direct combination of State and
Writer (it is perhaps more common to rely on _monad transformers_ but once
you know what you are looking at, Andy's code is simple and clear).

Best wishes
Stephen

I've built GHC 7.6.3 from source using the default "perf" settings, and all
my programs are about 4 Mb bigger after linking than if I used the pre-built
binary. What could be causing this? (x64 Linux with gold linker.)

Sorry, that wasn't completely clear. It's both the GHC binary itself and
everything build by GHC which is a few MB bigger.

Now I've noticed something even weirder - if I replace the GHC binary from
the binary distribution with the one I built, the executables I produce with
it are the original size.
