#10471: Confusing parse error when forgetting "deriving"

This code:
{{{
module Main where
data Foo
= Foo
{ f_x :: Int
, f_y :: Int
} (Eq, Show)
}}}
Produces this error message:
{{{
foo.hs:5:7: Not in scope: `f_x'
foo.hs:6:7: Not in scope: `f_y'
}}}
I'm not sure how easy it is to improve the error message; but a "Not in
scope" seems very confusing to me...
