i'd like to support Ralf's opinion: n+k patterns have advantages
(when used in a certain manner) so it would be good to keep them.

personal reason: right now i'm busy giving tutorials on recursive functions
and it's really nice if you can write f(...,y+1) = ... (... y)
instead of f(...,y) = ... (... y-1)

on a more general note, can we take n+k patterns as
an istance of a "view" (http://www.haskell.org/extensions/views.html)
of the type Int(eger)?
