Comment:

 Oh bother. Just as I finished up a patch for this, I realized that at one
 point in time, GHC did exactly what was described in comment:5 by having a
 `Parent` constructor named `PatternSynonym`. However, `PatternSynonym` was
 deliberately removed in e660f4bf546e90fb6719ad268ca3daaecdce4b82 (#11970)!
 Looking at that commit, my patch essentially just adds all of that
 functionality back plus some changes to `isRecFldGRE`.

 I'm not sure how to proceed from here—I don't want to trample on other
 people's work! mpickering, you authored of that commit: do you have an
 opinion on this?
