Library enhancement request: Data.Maybe.justIf
Hi,
I found myself often writing the idiom "if a then Just v else Nothing". It can be nicely abbreviated by the function:
justIf :: a -> Bool -> Just a
justIf x True = Just x
justIf x False = Nothing
Which would allow me to write the nicely write- and readable v justIf a.
Asking on #haskell, I got positive feedback about this addition:
<endojelly> nomeata, I'm all for it. my last project was *full* of that idiom
