| So let's just fix ghc here.  It looks to me like whoever wrote that code was relying
| on a non-obvious consequence of the precedence.  At a glance, it looks like there is
| intended to be a space before the source_import and colon.  And that is exactly what
| the proposed fixities for <> and <+> will give.  I find it hard to believe that many
| people would consciously have relied on the older behaviour.

If there's a bug in GHC, or a feature request, can someone make a ticket with a standalone reproducible test case, please? I have not been following the twists and turns of this discussion.
