+ <para>The Haskell Report allows you to put a unary
+ <literal>-</literal> preceding certain expressions headed by
+ keywords, allowing constructs like <literal>- case x of
+ ...</literal> or <literal>- do { ... }</literal>. GHC does
+ not allow this. Instead, unary <literal>-</literal> is
+ allowed before only expressions that could potentially
+ be applied as a function.
