Comment (by rwbarton):

 Well the first `Foo` export certainly looks redundant (as long as at least
 one of the CPP flags is enabled).

 I don't really see how your second version is any better than what you say
 is "so horrible [...]":
 {{{#!hs
 module Foo (
    Foo (
 #ifdef TESTING
      Foo,
 #endif
 #ifdef USE_PATTERN_SYNONYMS
      Pat1, Pat2,
 #endif
    )
   )
 }}}

 (A trailing comma is legal here right? Otherwise it really is a mess.)
