-- The identity functor and monad.
--
-- This trivial type constructor serves two purposes:
--
-- * It can be used with functions parameterized by functor or monad classes.
--
-- * It can be used as a base monad to which a series of monad
--   transformers may be applied to construct a composite monad.
--   Most monad transformer modules include the special case of
--   applying the transformer to 'Identity'.  For example, @State s@
--   is an abbreviation for @StateT s 'Identity'@.
