Comment (by goldfire):

 n+k patterns are often seen as a misfeature and in fact were removed from
 Haskell 2010. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3748592/what-are-nk-
 patterns-and-why-are-they-banned-from-haskell-2010 for further discussion.
 I'm tempted to close as "wontfix" but want a concurring opinion before
 doing so.
