I have to say that I find this choice of naming baffling. Why would you name a concrete type 'monad'? Makes no sense to me.
That was discussed on this very list in great depth and length. The choice of monad<T> was made to ensure people looked up the documentation for what it meant instead of making any assumptions. I think that aim worked out beautifully.
Judging from this thread a lot of people were actually misled by the name Monad as they were making assumptions.
