[Haskell-beginners] HLint fails to give suggestions

[David McBride]

Hlint doesn't compile your code.  It only looks for common patterns in
code that are usually bad.  It is going on the assumption that your
code already compiled and you are just looking for some advice on
refactoring.

234234 = do
  return 1

gives

Blah5.hs:2:10: Error: Redundant do
Found:
  do return 1
Why not:
  return 1
