Of the two, I prefer "monadic-define," because it seems to me that it is
analogous to `define` without having all of its properties.
"define-monadic" sounds like a Scheme definition form (which it isn't)
that defines something that is monadic.

Both sound like a pain to write out. Maybe `d-m` and `r-m` can be kept
as standard abbreviations.
