Looks good. But then, IMHO, interpreters should have special handling
for those types instead (run anything of type IO a, not only IO (),
as in H98, main is allowed to be of type IO a instead of IO (), anyway.
"magically" print something, if the interpreter doesn't know a Show
instance for some instance of a -> b).
