Comment (by adamgundry):

 No, I hadn't considered the interaction with unboxed tuple syntax. It is a
 bit awkward, but the lexical syntax is sufficiently crowded that I doubt
 we will be able to do better, and we already have similar annoyances
 involving `.hsc` files. I suppose we could add a sentence to the manual
 pointing out the conflict and encouraging a style in which overloaded
 labels are preceded by a space (even when in parentheses).
