Comment (by nomeata):

 Just for clarification. Does

 >  This applies to let, where and top-level pattern bindings.

 Mean it applies to

 {{{
 let x = ones : x
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 let f = \n -> if n == 0 then 1 else n * f (n-1)
 }}}
 but not
 {{{
 let f n = if n == 0 then 1 else n * f (n-1)
 }}}
 right?

 (I think I like the explicit `~` on recursive value bindings.)
