OK, the fact that Network.WAI hard codes both IO and ResponseReceived in it's definition is starting to really chap my ass. It punts the requirement to work in any more interesting monad down the line, which mean such uses are 1) different, and 2) wrong.

Just got back from the grocery store, and I couldn't help but notice: the pre-cooked frozen shrimp was $6.99/lb. About 10 feet away was a displace of tubes of uncooked hamburger, for $6.73/lb. We are $0.27/lb away from "No, honey- we can't afford hamburger, we have to make due with shrimp."
