What?  It is a redefinition issue *as well*, but this kind of
warning isn't active by default

    Prelude> :s -Wall
    Prelude> let f 0 = 0; f otherwise = 1 + otherwise

    <interactive>:1:15:
        Warning: This binding for `otherwise' shadows the existing binding
                   imported from Prelude
                 In the definition of `f'
