I dont think you would ever need to do unsafePerformIO unless
you are writing some lib calls or some such thing

In your case the approach should be some thing along these lines
onMouse w streams isEditChecked mouse
= do
ischecked <- isEditChecked
case mouse of
if ischecked then
findStream w streams pt
...
I am assuming that findStream w streams pt is of type IO a for
some a. otherwise you might have to use something like
return $ findStream w streams pt
Also the function onMouse will return some IO something. Remember there is
no real reason to use unsafePerformIO unless you are writing some new
IO library call.
