 Replying to [comment:22 goldfire]:
 > I think Simon's worry is that there will be some inference of
 associations between pattern synonyms and datatypes. In the proposals as I

 Alas, no.  I simply don't know what the proposal ''is''!   I'd love to see
 a specification.  Then I'd know if I was worried or not :-).
