I would personally rather see repeatM and repeatM_ like the replicateM/replicateM_ pair already in Control.Monad. I implement them like this: repeatM = sequence . repeat repeatM_ = sequence_ . repeat Google CodeSearch tells me it's the way replicateM was implemented too: http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=replicateM+file%3A%5C.hs% 24&btnG=Search Btw, i hope it is ok to give my opinion on this. Im asking since im not a library developer or anything just a normal programmer.
