Hi,

Just as there's a Foldable class, there should also be an Unfoldable class. 
This package provides one:

   class Unfoldable t where
     unfold :: Unfolder f =>   f a ->   f (t a)

Just to be sure: That's not a generalization of Data.List.unfoldr, or
is it somehow?

It seems to be -- see
https://github.com/sjoerdvisscher/unfoldable/blob/master/src/Data/Unfoldable.hs#L84

(although that is much more complicated than Data.List.unfoldr)

I must admit I'm a bit weirded out by the (Bounded a, Enum a) restriction on the Either, tuple, and Constant instances. Why not just use Unfoldable a, or have a class specifically devoted to unfolding * types?
