Comment (by simonpj):
If you had written
{{{
class T A b
}}}
Then the error would have been fine. What is special here? Just that
it's using a type constructor that has built-in syntax.
I expect I could add a special case to dis-allow such class declarations,
and I agree this one is strange because of the `%` signs. But is it
really worth the trouble? Will people do this much?
