mif appears to pass the naming convention rules. It looks strange, but we can chalk that up to lack of exposure.
I'm +1 on using `mif`/`mwhen`/`munless` (assuming all those pass the current naming convention), because otherwise adding an exception to the naming convention for Control.Monad entities would also require rewording the existing naming convention in the Haskell Report. Moreover, since 'Control.Monad' is often imported unqualified, we'd probably cause clashes in existing packages (and together with non-PVP upper-bounds on base that'd mean build failures) A quick heuristic grep over all Hackage packages results in quite a bit of packages containing the ifM/whenM/unlessM: ,---- | $ zgrep -l '^\(when\|if\|unless\)M ' -- *.tar.gz | Adaptive-0.23.tar.gz | Adaptive-Blaisorblade-0.23.tar.gz | Agda-2.3.2.2.tar.gz | alms-0.6.5.tar.gz | alpha-1.0.15.tar.gz | apelsin-1.2.3.tar.gz | aws-sdk-0.12.4.tar.gz | bamboo-2010.2.25.tar.gz | bff-mono-0.2.1.tar.gz | bool-extras-0.4.0.tar.gz | btree-concurrent-0.1.5.tar.gz | buildbox-2.1.4.1.tar.gz | caldims-0.1.0.tar.gz | cao-0.1.1.tar.gz | clafer-0.3.5.1.tar.gz | Coadjute-0.1.1.tar.gz | Commando-1.0.0.4.tar.gz | concurrent-extra-0.7.0.6.tar.gz | cond-0.4.0.2.tar.gz | control-bool-0.2.1.tar.gz | control-monad-loop-0.1.tar.gz | ctrie-0.1.0.1.tar.gz | custom-prelude-0.2.2.0.tar.gz | darcs-benchmark-0.1.9.tar.gz | data-spacepart-20090215.0.tar.gz | DPM-0.3.0.0.tar.gz | feldspar-language-0.6.0.3.tar.gz | fix-imports-1.0.3.tar.gz | fquery-0.2.1.5.tar.gz | git-annex-5.20140412.tar.gz | github-backup-1.20131203.tar.gz | git-repair-1.20140227.tar.gz | hjs-0.2.1.tar.gz | hsc3-graphs-0.14.1.tar.gz | hsConfigure-0.1.tar.gz | hxt-filter-8.4.2.tar.gz | IfElse-0.85.tar.gz | infinity-0.3.tar.gz | JYU-Utils-0.1.1.2.tar.gz | kure-2.14.6.tar.gz | language-sh-0.0.3.1.tar.gz | lhae-0.0.3.tar.gz | libcspm-1.0.0.tar.gz | liquid-fixpoint-0.1.0.0.tar.gz | LslPlus-0.4.3.tar.gz | manatee-core-0.1.1.tar.gz | MiniAgda-0.2014.1.9.tar.gz | omega-1.5.2.tar.gz | orchid-0.0.8.tar.gz | panda-2009.4.1.tar.gz | processing-1.2.0.1.tar.gz | propellor-0.5.0.tar.gz | regexpr-0.5.4.tar.gz | rosso-1.0.tar.gz | runghc-0.1.0.2.tar.gz | scion-0.1.0.2.tar.gz | scyther-proof-0.8.0.0.tar.gz | shellish-0.1.4.tar.gz | shelly-1.5.2.tar.gz | sindre-0.4.tar.gz | spacepart-0.1.0.0.tar.gz | Strafunski-StrategyLib-5.0.0.3.tar.gz | StrategyLib-4.0.0.0.tar.gz | tamarin-prover-utils-0.8.5.1.tar.gz | test-sandbox-0.0.1.7.tar.gz | usb-1.2.tar.gz | vhd-0.2.2.tar.gz | watcher-0.0.3.0.tar.gz | wxc-0.90.1.1.tar.gz | YampaSynth-0.1.2.tar.gz | yesod-bin-1.2.8.1.tar.gz | yi-0.8.1.tar.gz | yjtools-0.9.18.tar.gz | zip-conduit-0.2.2.1.tar.gz | zoom-0.1.0.1.tar.gz `---- ...whereas a grep on the `m`-prefixed versions turns up much less hits: ,---- | $ zgrep -l '^m\(when\|if\|unless\) ' -- *.tar.gz | bool-extras-0.4.0.tar.gz | ideas-1.1.tar.gz `---- Cheers, hvr
