As pointed out to me on IRC (thanks pjdeport), chaning the type signature of
`forM_` to
    forM_' :: (Monad m, Foldable t) => t a -> (a -> m ()) -> m ()
would have resulted in an error.
What about mapM_, replicateM_, etc.? In each case, '_' means "if you return a
value from your action, it is ignored", and not "you must return unit".
