No, it's not quite as easy.  For one thing, in Haskell monads are part
of the standard library, whereas in Clean, as far as I am aware you
have to write them yourself.  The other reason is that Haskell has a
special "do" notation for monads, whereas in Clean you would have to
just use ">>", ">>=", etc., just like Haskell programmers had to do
before they added "do" notation to Haskell.
