 The following code fails to parse

 {{{
 module Temp where


 t = case [1..2] of
         [ 1
         , 2
         ] -> True
         _ -> False
 }}}
 with
 {{{
 Temp.hs:5:9:
     parse error (possibly incorrect indentation or mismatched brackets)
 }}}
 Which relates to the line `, 2`. Indenting both that line and the next one
 is needed to parse the module. This is contrary to what I suspected. As
 this vertical layout for lists is allowed as expression, I would also
 expect it to work for patterns.
