Have you take a look at the implementation in the pointed C++ Monads 
article [1]?
I have nothing against you start your own POC but having a good 
knowledge of the pointed implementation will help.
A clear project would also be useful.

Been familiar with Boost style and tools is a must. Maybe some libraries 
using tag-dispatching could help, but the pointed implementation has a 
good style, that even if it doesn't follows Boost naming rules, it is 
quite elegant.
