+The major change is to make the Monad libraries easier to use. Now you can just use `Monad.Reader(struct type env = ... end)`; you don't need to furthermore ask for the `M` submodule of that generated module. Relatedly, the `List` and `Monad.List` modules are now different; the former has lots of list-related functions and the latter only the monadic interface. Similarly for `Option` and `Monad.Option`.
