 The following program:
 {{{
 a | True = 1
 a | False = 2
 }}}
 produces an error (on 7.4.1 and 7.7.2012117):
 {{{
 Conflicting definitions for 'a'
 }}}
 The following two examples produce no error:
 {{{
 b | True = 1
   | False = 2

 c _ | True = 1
 c _ | False = 2
 }}}
 I would expect `a`, `b`. and `c ()` to have identical behaviour.
