Changes (by igloo):

  * resolution:  => wontfix
  * status:  new => closed

Comment:

 I think that if we have both groupBy and this new function then the names
 should be more similar (I'd expect groupWhen to do something completely
 different), and if possible allude to the functionality difference.

 Are there any cases when the existing behaviour is better?

 No matter what, I think this should go via
 http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions so I'm closing this
 bug.

 By the way, the hpaste link seems to now be about catching monkeys.


 Thanks

 Ian
