Comment (by NeilMitchell):
It seems that if the final guard is {{{| otherwise}}} you could short-
circuit the entire analysis pass, since we immediately know what the
result is going to be. In such circumstances, emitting a warning about a
failed analysis which could be trivially avoided seems unnecessary. It
would also provide a simple way for users with "excessively complex"
guards to disable the warning, simply add {{{| otherwise -> error "GHC
can't cope with this many guards"}}}. No need for the pragma then.
