 * status:  new => closed
 * resolution:   => invalid


Comment:

 Pattern synonym names live in the data constructor name space whilst the
 type operators
 extension only affects type constructors. Pattern synonym definitions
 define no type construction so there shouldn't be any interaction
 between the two features.
