Comment (by vlopez):

 Here's a partial patch (attachment `invalid-digit-warning-6c9246.patch`),
 which gives a warning in most cases.

 However, the feature not very useful when the user for making sense of a
 type error, as GHC only seems to display warnings when the module can be
 compiled correctly.
