 HEAD reports

 {{{
     Parse error in pattern: case x of {
                               Just foo
                                 -> do { stmt1;
                                         stmt2;
                                         .... }
                               Nothing -> a }
     Possibly caused by a missing 'do'?
 }}}

 Now the error points at the correct location and there is a helpful hint.
