[Haskell-cafe] Is this a GHC parser error? A test case compiles from one line but not another.

Ah, you’re right of course, I forgot about this.

This appears to be true in standard Haskell, but interestingly, it seems
that where clauses *cannot* be attached to a multi-way if expression.
Whether or not that counts as a “set of guards” is debatable, but I
usually think of them that way, so it’s potentially worth nothing.
