Comment (by simonpj):

 > Visible type application in patterns would be extremely useful for
 implementing core transformations in the new version of the incremental-
 computing package.

 Could you distil some motivating examples from your package?   It's good
 to know it'd be useful, but better to be able to see the usefulness.
 Thanks!
