Ah, I hadn't realised there was already a function in
Haskell called seq -- sorry about that!
I don't really want to call the Python version 'bind',
because it seems a bit obscure. Also, the way I'm using
it there, it's not actually binding anything (it
corresponds to >> rather than >>=), so calling it
'bind' would just confuse matters.
I'll see if I can come up with a better name for it
that doesn't clash with anything.
