Comment (by mpickering):

 I think this reply is a mixture of a new ticket, #393 and some more
 context for this ticket.

 > Could you not view a where clause in a pattern synonym as containing
 zero bindings (unidirectional) or a single binding (explicitly
 bidirectional).

 Yes you could, without looking I think this would require quite a bit of
 refactoring because of how everything is dealt with in the parser.
