According to the the syntax at
https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch10.html the
following do-notation should parse:
{{{#!hs
do {let x = 4; print x}
}}}
But it doesn't.
{{{#!hs
do {let x = 4 in print x}
}}}
parses OK. Doesn't look like a new bug, I tried with GHC 7.8 and same
result. Googling "haskell do {let ds; es} = let ds in do {es}" also shows
quite a lot of people taught Haskell that way, so maybe it once worked?
