#11117: mdo blocks in error messages are shown modified

{{{#!hs
{-# LANGUAGE RecursiveDo #-}
main = mdo
Just x <- return (Right x)
return ()
}}}
gives
{{{
MdoTypeError.hs:3:3:
Couldn't match expected type ‘Either a0 b0’
with actual type ‘Maybe b0’
Relevant bindings include x :: b0 (bound at MdoTypeError.hs:3:8)
In the pattern: Just x
In a stmt of an 'mdo' block: Just x <- return (Right x)
In a stmt of an 'mdo' block: rec { Just x <- return (Right x) }
}}}
Note that the error message mentions `rec` even though that is not what
the user entered. In other instances, we are careful to show the code more
similar to the original (e.g. `do`-notation instead of `>>=`). This should
also be done here.
