Well, you have seq. The type of seq also doesn't guarantee this, but the implementation does

I don’t think so? Seq is strict in its first argument, but that doesn’t provide a way of guaranteeing the order of side effects that I can see.

Edit: You may be thinking of pseq, but I don't think that's in the Haskell 98 report.
