Now, here's the question: Is is correct to say that [3, 5, 8] is a
monad?
In what sense would this be a monad? I don't quite get your question.
I think the question is this: if m is a monad, then what do you call
a thing of type m Int, or m Whatever.
It has been known to call such things 'computations', as opposed to
'values', and even to separate the categories of types and expressions
which deliver the two.
I think that's a useful separation: I wish return (embedding values in
computations) were silent, and thunk (embedding computations in
values) made more noise.
