This patch adds a new pragma so that users can specify `COMPLETE` sets of `ConLike`s in order to sate the pattern match checker. A function which matches on all the patterns in a complete grouping will not cause the exhaustiveness checker to emit warnings. ``` pattern P :: () pattern P = () {-# COMPLETE P #-} foo P = () ``` This example would previously have caused the checker to warn that all cases were not matched even though matching on `P` is sufficient to make `foo` covering. With the addition of the pragma, the compiler will recognise that matching on `P` alone is enough and not emit any warnings.
