 Using `..' inside of a record update should report that it's an error to
 do so, but instead reports that it's an empty update.  Consider this
 module:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #-}

 module Test where

 data Foo = Foo { x :: Int }

 test :: Foo -> Foo
 test foo = foo { .. }
 }}}

 When loaded, it complains about the empty record update of `foo`, instead
 of complaining about `..' being used during an update.
