From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
refutable          In lazy functional languages, a refutable pattern is one which       may fail to match.   An expression being matched against a       refutable pattern is first evaluated to head normal form       (which may fail to terminate) and then the top-level       constructor of the result is compared with that of the       pattern.   If they are the same then any arguments are matched       against the pattern's arguments otherwise the match fails.          An irrefutable pattern is one which always matches.   An       attempt to evaluate any variable in the pattern forces the       pattern to be matched as though it were refutable which may       fail to match (resulting in an error) or fail to terminate.          Patterns in Haskell are normally refutable but may be made       irrefutable by prefixing them with a tilde (~).   For example,          (\ (x,y) -> 1) undefined ==> undefined       (\ ~(x,y) -> 1) undefined ==> 1          Patterns in Miranda are refutable, except for tuples which are       irrefutable.   Thus          g [x] = 2       g undefined ==> undefined          f (x,y) = 1       f undefined ==> 1          Pattern bindings in local definitions are irrefutable in both       languages:          h = 1 where [x] = undefined ==> 1       Irrefutable patterns can be used to simulate unlifted products       because they effectively ignore the top-level constructor of       the expression being matched and consider only its components.
