This is a little better, it avoids all the record syntax for
extracting player numbers, and uses 'any' instead of 'find' since we
don't actually care about the player with the given number if they
exist:

> addPlayer :: PlayerInfo -> State Game Bool
> addPlayer pi = do
>     pls <- gets players
>     let exists = any (((==) `on` playerNumber) pi) pls
>     when (not exists) $ modify (\game -> game { players = pi : pls})
>     return $ not exists
