Could you take a look at my attempt to use RWST here: https://gist.github.com/2364137 -- specifically, the definition of the log and the invokeService functions? I had to create PointedFunctor in order to implement log generically. Is that the correct approach? --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/2360532 Looks pretty spot-on.

Often, the point operation exists alongside an existing trait, so as to provide laws. e.g. trait Functor; trait PointedFunctor extends Functor. There is a solid movement for restructuring the position of the point operation in class hierarchies, of which I am a part of. Here is a diagram of it: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/semigroupoids (though I still have more minor reservations here). ## Tony Morris http://tmorris.net/
