Bad error message for incorrect pattern synonym signature
Consider the following program ``` {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-} pattern Pat :: () => Show a => a -> Maybe a pattern Pat a = Just a ``` GHC complains that ``` test.hs:4:9: No instance for (Show a) arising from a pattern ``` I think this is quite difficult to understand. The problem is that matching on `Just a` doesn't provide the show constraint (it provides no constraints). A better error message here would explain this fact and maybe a short explanation of the difference between prov/req in a pattern synonym signature.
