Comment (by mpickering):
The `COMPLETE` pragma is an assertion that writing a function which
matches on each of the constructors in the set is total. In this example,
for this to be true, there can be no `A` values as if there were, no
function just matching on `B` would be total. Thus, the warning about the
inaccessible RHS is correct wrt the assertion made by the programmer.
