 With some types built by persistent-template, I'm running into very odd
 behaviour. Attempting to pull apart a tuple in one go...

 {{{#!hs
 let (Entity museKey muse, Entity msgKey msg, Entity fldrKey fldr) =
 cluster
 }}}

 fails (or rather, attempting to use msg or fldr fails) with errors like

 {{{
     Couldn't match expected type ‘Folder’ with actual type ‘Folder’
 }}}

 But splitting the pattern up:
 {{{#!hs
   let (a, b, c) = cluster
       Entity museKey muse = a
       Entity msgKey msg = b
       Entity fldrKey fldr = c
 }}}
 everything works normally

 bug
