 I've submitted quite a few Core Lint errors lately, I don't have access to
 GHC HEAD so ignore this ticket if this has already been resolved

 {{{#!hs
 {-# Options_GHC -dcore-lint #-}

 {-# Language ViewPatterns, PatternSynonyms #-}

 import Data.Bifunctor.Fix
 import Data.Bifunctor.Tannen

 newtype ZipList a = ZL { getZipList :: Fix (Tannen Maybe (,)) a }

 pattern Nil :: ZipList a
 pattern Nil = ZL (In (Tannen Nothing))

 infixr 5 :::
 pattern (:::) :: a -> ZipList a -> ZipList a
 pattern a:::as <- ZL (In (Tannen (undefined -> (a, as))))
   where a:::as = undefined
 }}}

 `↑` works fine without `-dcore-lint` but fails with it.

 Works fine if `undefined -> (a, as)` is replaced with `let x = x in x ->
 (a, as)`.
