I don't mucn like "with bind(h(x)) as y" because it's kind of
like an abstraction inversion -- you're building something
complicated on top of something complicated in order to get
something simple, instead of just having the simple thing
to begin with. If nothing else, it has a huge runtime cost
for the benefit it gives.
