Hi
However, it was pointed out that repeatM is next to useless, and it is traditional to use 'forever' for repeatM_ (see for example "Tackling the Awkward Squad", and http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Roll_your_own_IRC_bot
That being said, repeatM_ isn't too bad, should people prefer it.
If I had to guess what the monadic version of repeat was, I'd guess repeatM_ before forever. Forever is a very overloaded word, repeat in Haskell has exactly one concrete meaning agreed by everyone (since its in the Prelude). Thanks Neil
