One example given in this discussion is:
clunky env var1 var1 = case lookup env var1 of
Nothing -> fail
Just val1 -> case lookup env var2 of
Nothing -> fail
Just val2 -> val1 + val2
where
fail = val1 + val2
this needs to be fixed to:
clunky env var1 var1 = case lookup env var1 of
Nothing -> fail
Just val1 -> case lookup env var2 of
Nothing -> fail
Just val2 -> val1 + val2
where
fail = var1 + var2 <<<< (Added for emphasis)
I didn't see it myself on the first readthrough, but I was comparing structure between two examples
and noticed the discrepency. Let's fix it for correctness' sake.
