Monad class contains declaration *fail* :: String -> m a
and provides default implementation for 'fail' as: fail s = error s On the other hand Prelude defines: * error* :: String -> a which stops execution and displays an error message. Questions: 1) What value and type 'error' actually returns in: error "some message" ? 2) How declaration String -> m a matches with String -> a ? 3) In Maybe monad: fail = Nothing When and how 'fail' is used in Maybe monad?
