Duplicate pattern cases have an unclear error message
Duplicate pattern cases have a very unclear error message. Ran into this while writing a tree but the simpler case is shown here.
Steps to Reproduce
typecheck:
module Main
foo1 : Maybe a -> ()
foo1 Nothing = ()
foo1 Nothing = ()
foo2 : Maybe a -> ()
foo2 d = case d of
Nothing => ()
Nothing => ()
Expected Behavior
Expect to see an error about an unreachable case or a duplicate case for both foo versions.
Even once we have coverage checking and these were labeled partial an unreachable case warning/error seems like a good idea.
Observed Behavior
Test.idr:3:1--4:1:Attempt to match on erased argument ? in foo1
Test.idr:8:10--10:16:Attempt to match on erased argument ? in case block in foo2
