Comment (by gkaracha):

 Henceforth, a non-exhaustiveness warning about a match for which guards
 are responsible
 (the match has no arguments so incompleteness appears due to guards not
 covering all possible
 cases), a better warning will be printed. E.g. for the example above, the
 warning issued will be:
 {{{
 T11245.hs:12:7: warning:
     Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
     In an equation for ‘a’:
         Guards do not cover entire pattern space
 }}}
 There is probably (probably because it is always subject to the
 performance cost) room for
 improvement, like printing more details concerning failure, but I think I
 can safely close
 this ticket now.
