Well, as you say, "pattern signature" makes sense for both, so I would
expect to use context to disambiguate. If I wanted to be explicit about
which one I meant, I'd use:
a) "Pattern synonym signature"
b) "Signature on a pattern"

Hi,

Further complicated by the fact that that form used to be called a "pattern signature" with accompanying extension, until that was folded into ScopedTypeVariables extension.
which I find super confusing, because sometimes I want a signature on a pattern and it is counter-intuitive to me why I should not longer use the obviously named PatternSignatures extension but rather the at first glance unrelated ScopedTypeVariable extension.
But I am derailing the discussion a bit.
Cheers, Joachim
