---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
The lexeme sequence `(#)` gives a parse error in .lhs files.
 This makes it impossible to, among other things,
 give a type signature to the operator `#`

 I believe that this should be legal.

 For instance, the line
 {{{
 (#) :: Foo -> Bar -> Quux
 }}}
 gives a parse error in a .lhs file.
 The same line in a .hs file compiles normally.

 This may be related to bug #733
