It still is an _any_ pattern.  If there are multiple same-arity dtors, 
we have an overload selection problem.  And we'd have the same overload 
selection whether the client said `case Foo(var x)` and `case 
Foo(__ANY_PATTERN__)`, because in neither case is there enough type 
information at the use site to perform the overload selection.
