I assume (from the docs) that "try names" doesn't consume input (the
try is meant to take care of that).

I also know that "spaces ; types" works on its own, so what other
reason is there?

The code is at:

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/hoogle/src/Hoogle/Query/Parser.hs

Darcs repo at:

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/hoogle/

And the test case that is failing is:

parseQuery "[a]"

Thanks
