 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedLists #-}

 module Bug where

 f :: [a] -> ()
 f x = case x of
   [] -> ()
   (_:_) -> ()
 }}}

 GHC reports:

 {{{
 bug.hs:6:7: Warning:
     Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
     In a case alternative: Patterns not matched: []
 }}}

 This is reproducible with 7.8 and 7.10rc1.
