This isn't two functions: it's actually one function defined by cases. You can think of it as equivalent to

    fn x y = case (x, y) of
      (Just q, Just z) -> q + z
      (_, _) -> 0
but the case becomes implicit in the repetition of the function name at the top level of indentation.

At the same level, really - it works in a let or a where as well.
