Comment (by chshersh):

 I experienced similar issue with `-XApplicativeDo` while using
 `-XRecordWildCards` and `optparse-applicative` library. What I wanted to
 write:

 {{{#!hs
 data Options = Options { reportTime :: Integer }

 optionsParser :: Parser Options
 optionsParser = do
     hours   <- option auto $ long "hours"
     minutes <- option auto $ long "minutes"
     let reportTime = hours * 60 + minutes
     pure Options{..}
 }}}

 What helped is to write it like this:

 {{{#!hs
 data Options = Options { reportTime :: Integer }

 optionsParser :: Parser Options
 optionsParser = do
     hours   <- option auto $ long "hours"
     minutes <- option auto $ long "minutes"
     pure Options{ reportTime = hours * 60 + minutes }
 }}}
