Description

```
foo = \case
[] -> _
[ x ] -> _
x : xs -> _

bar = \case
[] -> _
[ x ] -> _
x : x' : xs -> _
```

Research direction

Start by running Brittany on the two Haskell case-expression examples from the issue and compare the resulting alignment. The issue does not name a source file or test, and it does not define an expected output; progress would require establishing the intended alignment or documenting the formatter's reasoning before changing behavior.
