They are not, though this would certainly make sense for lambda-if.
It's not so clear with lambda-case because of the issue of free
variables. Potentially we could support something like this, but it's
a bit scary-looking:

(case x of Just -> ; Nothing ->) (\y -> "I'm a Just") "I'm a nothing"

Cheers,
