Issue created Dec 25, 2011 by AntoineLatter@trac-AntoineLatter

Confusing warning message for incomplete patterns

The following code

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}

import Data.Word

f :: Word8 -> Bool
f 0 = True
f 1 = False
f 2 = True

Produces the warning

7:1:
    Warning: Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
             In an equation for `f':
                 Patterns not matched: #x with #x `notElem` [0#, 1#, 2#]

While accurate, this is not exactly user friendly.

Found in GHC 7.4.1 RC 1
