Why is it relevant?
Some people think that the popularity of a feature in
an openly accessible collection of Haskell sources is
relevant to whether it should continue to be supported,
in a way that, say, appearance in textbooks, utility
to beginners, and contribution to readability are not.
Apparently.
I don't understand this. n+k patterns are the ONLY
Haskell98 feature scheduled for removal from Haskell'.
