Applied, thanks!
(and as always, thanks for sending docs with the change!)

The parens around Just d here aren't needed. Not a big deal, but it's
worth learning, as code is generally clearer without extra parentheses
(which is why we aren't all using lisp...). :)
The parens around return Nothing above also aren't needed, but they're
in a somewhat more confusing section of code, so they could be seen as
clarifying.
