You are seeing Ask web results for irrefutable patterns because there was not a match on Dictionary.com.
There are three other kinds of irrefutable patterns, two of which we will introduce now (the other we will delay until Section 4.4). ... Lazy patterns are irrefutable: matching a value v against ~pat always succeeds, regardless of pat. Operationally speaking, if an identifier in pat is later "used" on the right-hand-side,

I hadn’t come across irrefutable patterns (also called lazy patterns) in Haskell before and was of course curious. This is an attempt at illustrating the difference between lazy and non-lazy pattern matching.

Essentially, when you only have the single constructor for the type, e.g. tuples. Multiple equations won't work nicely with irrefutable patterns. To see this, let's examine what would happen were we to make head have an irrefutable pattern:

; There is a notion of ``irrefutable patterns'' used by some syntactic constructions. Matching against these patterns never fails. An ``irrefutable pattern'' is either: ... A tuple with irrefutable patterns.

3.1 Irrefutable Patterns ... Solution: Clean doesn't have any equivalent notation, however we note that Clean does support ``let'' expressions which, in the Haskell'98 report, are defined using irrefutable patterns. ... Where to are all the irrefutable patterns in and to are unique variable names that do not occur free in .

Just want to mention that this is an issue of pattern matching semantics, not tied to tuples, so any kind of data structure would have the same issue. Lazy pattern matching is available (in the form of irrefutable patterns):

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles): . Pattern matching is a great convenience in programming. However, pattern matching has its problems: it conicts with data abstraction; ... it is complex (at least in Haskell, which has pattern guards, irrefutable patterns, n+k patterns, as patterns, etc.);
