I'm more bothered by the fact that the data/constructor tag has now become 'pattern', which feels to me like it should only apply to pattern synonyms. But according to https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/167#issuecomment-4257364... it sounds like that ship may have sailed already if we want to be consistent (which we should!).
We can maybe fix it consistently, and phase out “pattern” (make it an alias for whatever we choose) … but do we have an obviously appropriate name?
Cheers, Joachim
