which I find super confusing, because sometimes I want a signature on a<br>
pattern and it is counter-intuitive to me why I should not longer use<br>
the obviously named PatternSignatures extension but rather the at first<br>
glance unrelated ScopedTypeVariable extension.<br>
<br>
But I am derailing the discussion a bit.<br>
<br>
