</dd></dl><p>The <code>Identity</code> monad is a monad that does not embody any computational strategy.
It simply applies the bound function to its input without any modification.
Computationally, there is no reason to use the <code>Identity</code> monad
instead of the much simpler act of simply applying functions to their arguments.
The purpose of the <code>Identity</code> monad is its fundamental role in the theory
of monad transformers.
Any monad transformer applied to the <code>Identity</code> monad yields a non-transformer
version of that monad.
