+1 for finally adding ifM, whenM, and unlessM to Control.Monad (what about guardM?) As far as bike-shedding goes, the naming-convention abiding mif, mwhen, and munless are also fine— albeit they look a bit strange. While the official fooM vs mfoo convention is spelled out in Control.Monad, I don't know how much anyone actually pays attention to that; a lot of people use the fooM pattern ubiquitously instead. In practice the mfoo pattern is only used with mzero, mplus, msum, and mfilter— so in practice it seems more like "mfoo means the MonadPlus variant of foo" whereas "fooM means the Monad variant of foo". -- Live well, ~wren
