I think the compiler should certainly give a warning that no equations are defined for a definition. It would be impossible to check for user typos! :) It does make me beg the question though: why do we want to define data types without any constructors? If we do opt for empty data declarations, then both general pattern matching and case expressions need to be able to cope with it for consistency.
