Just to remark that
liftM3 if' (return False) deleteHardDrive (return ())
executes deleteHardDrive, then decides to return the value of (return ()). --Conor McBride 14:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I've just uploaded a package to Hackage that contains a similar function to the proposed if'
.
It's called bool
after the data type, similarly to maybe
and either
. Its arguments are in the exact opposite order of the if'
function, since I think this makes partial application easier (everywhere I've used it, I either provide the first or the first two arguments).
