General comment:
New patterns are added to case analyses that recurse over the data type in question.
The positioning of the new pattern is placed preserving the order
that it was defined in the data type.
Left to right comment:
The value given as a new constructor in this example is
Var Int and is added as the last constructor of the
Expr data type. New patterns are added to capture the new constructor
and the RHS of the pattern matches call a function raising an error.
Right to left comment:
An argument can only be removed if it is not used
anywhere in the program. If the binding is
exported to other modules in a multi-module system,
it is necessary to check uses throughout the
system.
Left to right conditions:
Adding the new formal parameter should not capture any
existing uses of constructor names within that data type.
The constructor must not be used any where in the program.
