 According to
 [https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch3.html#x8-220003
 The Haskell 2010 Report], the following two modules should compile. But
 they don't, failing with parse errors:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-}

 module Bug where

 bool = - case b of False -> 0; True -> (-1)
 }}}

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-}

 instance Num (IO a) where
   negate = id

 main = - do putStrLn "hi!"
 }}}

 Note the unary `-` signs.

 I'm not sure whether we should complicate the parser to fix these, but we
 should document the compliance-failure in the manual.
