nice package. Especially 

awhen :: Monad m => Maybe a -> (a -> m ()) -> m ()

is something I define in almost every project.

Note that the documentation:
==========
Chainable anaphoric when. Takes a maybe value. 

if the value is Just x then execute action x , then return True .
otherwise return False .
==========
does not match the implementation.

And looking at the code, you could, you want, build your more special
functions upon your more general ones, e.g.:

awhen mb action = aif mb action (return ())

Greetings,
Joachim
