What's the motivation for this?
The core outside of StackSet.hs isn't h98 -- and won't be.
I can understand removing them from StackSet.hs, to allow Catch/YHC to
work on that module (though they're also adding pattern guards to
nhc/yhc iirc), but given the non-StackSet.hs modules aren't H98 anyway,
I don't see what benefit we get from this.
Pattern guards are useful, concise, have been around since 1997, and
feel free to use them.
