Comment (by Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@…>):

 In [changeset:"a07ce1654ac5b8033f2daf9270c6e182415b69ca/ghc"]:

 Generalise `Control.Monad.{when,unless,guard}`

 Generalise `when`/`unless`from `Monad` to `Applicative` and `guard` from
 `MonadPlus` to `Alternative` respectively.

 This was made possible by the AMP and is somewhat related to #9586
 (but generalising in the context of the AMP instead of the FTP)
