Towards Scala 3
I mean if you write something like:
(for { x <- List(1, 1, 1) y <- Set(x) z <- List(y, y) } yield z).length
the answer will be rather surprising, because in Scala for/yield is
not
necessarily monadic.

It's only surprising if you ascribe monadic properties to that syntax versus understanding it as literal syntactic sugar and absolutely nothing else.

I would say: it is `Set` and `List` that are wrong in that example, not `for`. That said, `for` really does have some issues (enter
