I thought the whole point of Applicative (at least, reading Connor’s paper) was to restore some function-application-style to the whole effects-thing, i.e. it was the very point *not* to resort to binds or do-notation.
That being said, I’m all for something that will promote the use of the name “pure” over “return”. +1 for the Opt-In Ph.
