Sounds like a good post -- but, only if people can find it at the
right time. Is there some way we can add something to the
haddock/hoogle docs so that people looking for `whenJust` can be told
that they are looking for `for_`?

I just wrote `whenJust` myself a few days ago -- not realizing that
for_ is what I wanted. I don't really need a whole tutorial for that
-- just a 'you mean for_' would be enough. But.. it would need to be
in the Control.Monad and/or Data.Maybe haddocks for me to have seen
it..
