Although I wasn’t asked, I want to express my opinion. I think, the use
of the comma is strange. When declaring functions with multiple
arguments, we don’t have commas:
f Nothing y = y
f (Just x) y = x
In lambda expressions for multi-argument functions, we also don’t have
commas:
\x y -> x + y
Why should we have them when using a case-lambda expression for a
multi-argument function?
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
