I'm looking really hard for any kind of analogy or figure of speech here, but I don't see it. As is, I can't see much sense in this comment. In case it was unclear, Haskell doesn't have a taint mode feature. This blog entry was about someone building one. They could have provided a way to unwrap the data, but they chose not to. Most monads do provide an unwrap operation; it's often called something like "runBlah".
So you don't like this person's specific choice for your intended purposes, and that's fine. It's quite expected, in fact, since it was just a friggin' example! If I told you I don't like Perl because Larry imposes his will on me that I use regular expressions for parsing XML, you'd probably tell me I'm an idiot, and rightfully so. This is the same thing. If you don't want this monad (which you probably don't) you could write your own. If you don't like the monad, you could write some other kind of type operator besides a monad. Indeed, using a monad for tainted form data in a CGI doesn't seem like such a great idea. How about:
newtype Taint a = Taint { untaint :: a }
instance Functor (Taint a) where ...
The point is that it's a free world, and the language provides you with the tools to build this stuff on your own. No one has to implement taint mode for you. In reply to Re^3: Is it worth using Monads in Perl ? and what the Monads are ?
