Note that SPJ's book (1987) pre-dates Wadler's popularization of monads (1992) by a good 5 years, and Moggi's idea to use monads to describe different notions of computation by 4 years^1. So they're missing for a reason.

Sounds good. I had assumed you were heading in this direction. The approach was something Duncan and I wanted to try in 2007/2008 but we didn't have resources at the time. Now the infrastructure is there, automatically identifying

There's nothing a priori clear about punctuation like [ ] { }, you're just used to seeing lots of syntactic markers.

Languages may not be perfect, but language features can be compared, and some features are strictly more powerful than others. There is scope for legitimate criticism of language design based on the expressive power^1 of their features. In
