+<p>
+ Alternative patterns can be given for a case clause using the
+ <code>|</code> operator. If any of the patterns match then the clause matches.
+</p>
+<p>
+ If a pattern defines a variable then all of the alternative patterns for that
+ clause must also define a variable with the same name and same type.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Currently it is not possible to have nested alternative patterns, so the
+ pattern <code>[1 | 2 | 3]</code> is not valid.
