Hi James,
I think the difference they want to convey is that a function binding names
an identifier and can contain several patterns, e.g. `foo [x] y = x + y`
whereas a pattern binding is just one pattern, e.g. `[x]` or `y` in the
earlier example. Function bindings can be desugared to case expressions
with patterns.

I am reading Haskell report 2010 and I can't understand the differences between function bindings and pattern bindings. Can anyone explain the differences?
