Huh, of course that works. Thanks.
It never occurred to me to even consider the existence of manual
completeness annotation, since completeness checks work so reliably for
ordinary constructors. But maybe my types weren't esoteric enough so
far. Are there pattern-free cases where the GHC completeness checker is
wrong? Of what computational class is the problem? Can I simulate a
Turing machine by checking completeness in the presence of patterns?
