Make pattern synonym export type mismatch a warning
As I understand it, attempting to associate a pattern synonym with a type constructor that it "obviously" doesn't match is an error. This is strange for two reasons:
- An "erroneous" association cannot compromise type safety.
- The test is incomplete.
Therefore, I believe such mismatches should lead to warnings instead of errors.
