+                GHC now supports pattern synonyms, enabled by the
+                <literal>-XPatternSynonym</literal> extension,
+                allowing you to name and abstract over patterns more
+                easily.

                 There has been significant overhaul of the type
                 inference engine and constraint solver, meaning it
                 should be faster and less memory intensive.
