That would be a very strange feature, IMHO.

That will be another bug, which will possibly related to the report bug.

(Which you easily see because the compiler says > "pattern matching not exhaustive".) No, it will be not.

Then ``some code'' is inside a quotation inside a comment. That will not be easily to discover. Could you fix/ask about the reported bug with quotation mark char?
