 In Haskell,
 1. The scope of definitions can be controled.
 2. The same name can be used to define both a function and a field of
 record.
 3. The user can use that name in record pattern matching when only the
 function is within scope. For example
 {{{
 FuncId{ name = nm }
 }}}
 resulting in the following bug

 {{{
 [38 of 39] Compiling TxsUtils         ( src\TxsUtils.hs, .stack-
 work\dist\1f7101f2\build\Txs
 Utils.o )
 ghc.EXE: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.0.2 for x86_64-unknown-mingw32):
         translateConPatVec: lookup

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
