See X monad (xmonad) for an counterexample.

-- | The X monad, 'ReaderT' and 'StateT' transformers over 'IO'
-- encapsulating the window manager configuration and state,
-- respectively.
--
-- Dynamic components may be retrieved with 'get', static components
-- with 'ask'. With newtype deriving we get readers and state monads
-- instantiated on 'XConf' and 'XState' automatically.
--
newtype X a = X (ReaderT XConf (StateT XState IO) a)
