Comment (by mpickering):

 Richard, could you please explain more what you mean in this paragraph?
 How are you imagining the implementation?

 > But I do think my proposal answers Simon's first point: the programmer
 says explicitly what should be included by any import of a  datatype. This
 choice is checked in my proposal, but I don't imagine that would be a
 challenge to implement. The interface file would indicate what pattern
 synonyms are included with a datatype. It all doesn't seem very
 complicated.
