Not a Monad

[joneshf]

For example:

function foo(x) {
  return x == null ? 3 : x;
}

bind(null, foo) //=> null
foo(null) //=> 3
bind(null, foo) === foo(null) //=> false

Hmm, How you would suggest it to be?

The simplest way is to just not claim it being a monad. It's a fine abstraction for avoiding null checking, but calling it a monad will bite someone later when they try to reason about it. Might be you, might be me (already was me actually), might be someone else, but it will happen.

It would be nice if you could help use define it here
