The only idea I got is:

processX x  | x `elem` [ 1, 5, 76 ] = doThis  | x `elem` [ 112, 21 ] = doThat  | otherwise = doOtherwise

That's the correct way to do it.  The trick is to remember that the above is really a "case of":

(with the cat off my arm so I'm not whacking the wrong keys...)

case x of _ | x `elem` [1, 5, 76] -> doThis | x `elem` [112, 21] -> doThat | otherwise -> doSomethingElse
