How does this interact with pattern matching ?  If constructor types
are not uniform, it seems that it is no longer possible to 
say whether a simple (without guards) pattern matching is exhaustive or
not.

For instance, with the declaration:
  type 'a t = A : int t | B : 'a -> 'a t
do you issue a warning for:
  function B x -> x
?
