An example of what it could look like.
In F#, you can group cases together which have the same parameter type
match x with
| A i ->
// stuff1
| B s | C s | D s ->
// stuff2 on s
However you cannot group together cases with different parameters types
match x with
| A i | B s | C s | D s -> // error
However in F# multiple parameters to an ADT are tuples, and you can use
underscore for the whole tuple.
