Comment (by Simon Peyton Jones ):

 In [changeset:"48e06346805ab882a54088e01e5224111182f5df/ghc" 48e0634/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="48e06346805ab882a54088e01e5224111182f5df"
 Revert "Allow as-patterns in pattern synonym declarations."

 I'm reverting this until we agree a design.
 See comment:5 in Trac #9793.

 Incidentally the reference to Trac #9739 in the reverted
 patch is bogus; it shold have said #9793.

 This reverts commit 44640af7afa1a01ff2e2357f7c1436b4804866fc.
