Hmm... so-called "non-linear patterns".  We should emit a warning when the
same var is used twice in a pattern, indeed, to avoid surprises.

We could also do as you describe but I'm not completely sure it's a good
idea (it begs questions about which equality test to use and when it
should be tested).

I don't know what you mean by that.  Can you clarify?
