Close, but not quite what I was thinking of.

I was thinking more like you have some text such as

   case x of
     5 -> return [(1, 4), (2, 3)]
     6 -> return [(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3)]
     7 -> return [(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4)]

and you suddenly decide you need to change that to

   case x of
     5 -> return $ Just [(1, 4), (2, 3)]
     6 -> return $ Just [(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3)]
     7 -> return $ Just [(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4)]

It's kinda tedious to do this by hand. (Depending on just how many times 
you need to do it, obviously...)
