 In ghci, most block heralds trigger the multiline mode when :set +m is on.
 However, \case does not (and should). Compare:

 {{{
 Prelude> ($True) (\case
 Prelude|  x -> x
 Prelude| )
 True
 Prelude> ($True) $ \case

 <interactive>:11:11:
     Empty list of alternatives in case expression
       Use EmptyCase to allow this
 }}}
