 Compile this:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-splices #-}
 module Bug where

 $([d| type (|||) = Either

       (&&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
       (&&&) = (&&)

       data (***)
     |])
 }}}

 And you'll get this:

 {{{

   ======>
     type |||_a5bW = Either
     (&&&_a5bV) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
     (&&&_a5bV) = (&&)
     data ***_a5bX
 Ok, one module loaded.
 }}}

 Notice the pretty-printed declarations of `type |||_a5bW` and `data
 ***_a5bX`, which are lacking some necessary parentheses.
