You may also see `of` and `chain` referred to as `return` and `bind` in languages which provide Monad-like constructs as part of their standard library (e.g. Haskell, F#), [the Monad Wikipedia entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28functional_programming%29) and other literature. Remember that JavaScript already has constructs called `return` and `bind`, but the functions mentioned in this context are specifically related to Monads. It's also important to note that `return` and `bind` are not part of the [Fantasy Land spec](https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land) and are mentioned here for the sake of people interested in learning more about Monads on their own.
