By "combining" I just meant an operator that takes multiple functions and returns a new function based on those arguments. I guess these "functions" are a special case because they are constant monadic functions. Do you mean to say composition rather than combination when you are about >=>?
Yeah, I'm happy to abide by this all when the caveats are specialized, but >=> is definitely and directly what's being appealed to.
I meant combination just so as to generalize the idea of "composition". If you're willing to call Kleisli composition "composition" generally then I won't complain :)
