 While on a flight I discovered some errors, if you load a file using
 record syntax for pattern synonyms:

 {{{#!hs
 module Foo where

 pattern Pair{x, y} = (x, y)
 }}}

 and load it with `-dcore-lint`:

 {{{
 $ ghci -dcore-lint -ignore-dot-ghci -XPatternSynonyms /tmp/Foo.hs
 GHCi, version 8.1.20160419: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 [1 of 1] Compiling Foo              ( /tmp/Foo.hs, interpreted )
 Ok, modules loaded: Foo.
 *Foo> (1, 2) { x = 10 }
 *** Core Lint errors : in result of desugar expression ***
     [...]
 }}}

 full error message attached.
