Changes (by gidyn):

  * status:  closed => new
  * resolution:  wontfix =>


Comment:

 This only works when pattern matching on the constructor, and GADTs are no
 different to classical data types for this. Functions which uses a
 {{{Foo}}} without pattern matching will require a redundant type context
 in either case.
