Comment (by rwbarton):

 I like the idea of disambiguating or-patterns and guards with parentheses,
 since I expect to be able to use or-patterns compositionally (nested
 within a larger pattern) anyways. So for hvr's last example
 {{{#!hs
 case x of
   (False | True) -> "123"
 }}}
 Don't know if this would cause major problems in the parser.
