6.7.1. Pattern guards¶

PatternGuards¶

Since:	6.8.1
Status:	Disabled in `Haskell98`, enabled in `Haskell2010` and later.

Haskell 2010 allows pattern match guards to contain pattern guards:

case animal of
  Fish { name=nm }
    | "bob" <- nm  -> "it's Bob!"
  --  ^^^^^^^^^^^ a pattern guard

This extension controls whether pattern guard syntax is allowed, independent of language edition.
