I was hoping that the examples I requested would be examples of
particular control constructs or extensions to the language's syntax
and semantics. Though I admit that such things are possible in lisp,
I suspect that their utility is minimal.

Probably the most useful consequence is the ability to create new
control constructs without being constrained by the existing syntax
and semantics (and without having to write your own monadic versions
of existing functions).
