Comment (by simonmar):

 What I'm remembering is this:

 commit 67157c5c25c8044b54419470b5e8cc677be060c3
 {{{
 Author: simonpj at microsoft.com <unknown>
 Date:   Tue Nov 16 17:18:43 2010 +0000

     Warn a bit less often about unlifted bindings.

     Warn when
        (a) a pattern bindings binds unlifted values
        (b) it has no top-level bang
        (c) the RHS has a *lifted* type

     Clause (c) is new, argued for by Simon M

     Eg     x# = 4# + 4#      -- No warning
            (# a,b #) = blah  -- No warning
            I# x = blah       -- Warning
 }}}

 Which should mean that the bindings that Happy uses (where bindings of
 type `Int#`) do not generate warnings.  So is there a bug in the warning?
