+ Eliminated vairous ad-hoc coersion functions between specific monads
(IO, Err, IOE, Check) in favor of more general lifting functions
(liftIO, liftErr).
+ Generalized many basic monadic operations from specific monads to
arbitrary monads in the appropriate class (MonadIO and/or ErrorMonad),
thereby completely eliminating the need for lifting functions in lots
of places.
This can be considered a small step forward towards a cleaner
compiler API and more malleable compiler code in general.
