I's like to be able to cover both cases inn the same clause.
Other wise I'm just making two copies of a large chunk of
code which is both wasteful and error prone.

What I really have is:

	foo(bar) ->
		...
	foo(<<_:3, 1:1, _:12>>) ->
		...

So I tried:

   foo(Arg) when bar == Arg; <<_:3, 1:1, _:12>> == Arg -> 


I reallu just need to test one bit in the middle of this binary.
I guess I need a strategy that doesn't require binding a variable.
