<listitem><para>An <literal>@</literal>-pattern provides a means of referring
to the whole value being matched:
<programlisting>
args@{ x, y, z, ... }: z + y + x + args.a</programlisting>
<programlisting> args@{ x, y, z, ... }: z + y + x + args.a</programlisting>
but can also be written as:
<programlisting> { x, y, z, ... } @ args: z + y + x + args.a</programlisting>
Here <varname>args</varname> is bound to the entire argument, which
is further matched against the pattern <literal>{ x, y, z,
... }</literal>.</para></listitem>
... }</literal>. <literal>@</literal>-pattern makes mainly sense with an
ellipsis(<literal>...</literal>) as you can access attribute names as
<literal>a</literal>, using <literal>args.a</literal>, which was given as an
additional attribute to the function.
