Monad syntax bug

[raimohanska]

As in https://gist.github.com/4150252#comments

This works:

let main = do ioMonad
  _ <- putStrLn "a"
  putStrLn "b"

This does not:

let main = do ioMonad
  putStrLn "a"
  putStrLn "b"

So I made a fix, but I gotta admit I don't understand the compiler thorougly enough to be totally convinced it works under all circumstances. I added a new testcase (callbackmonad.roy) an existing test case to also include a line where there's just a side effect and no assignment.

Hmm, There still seems to be a bug about this as of 0.2.2. It seems to still have to bind something in order for it to compile.

So something like:

let main = do someMonad
  someFunc 37

Gives this traceback:

/usr/lib/node_modules/roy/src/compile.js:152
    var result = n.accept({
                   ^
