 In several cases, GHC does not output parentheses or backticks in error
 messages. For example, compiling this contrived file

 {{{
 data A = (:&&) Int Int | A Int Int

 x (+) ((&)@z) ((:&&) a b) (c :&& d) (e `A` f) (A g h) = y
   where infixl 3 `y`
         y _ = (&)
         {-# INLINE (&) #-}
         {-# SPECIALIZE (&) :: a #-}
         (&) = x
 }}}

 gives an error message containing:

 {{{
 x + (&@z) (:&& a b) (c :&& d) (e A f) (A g h)
   = y
   where
       infixl 3 y
       y _ = (&)
       {-# INLINE & #-}
       {-# SPECIALIZE & :: a #-}
 }}}

 Attached patch fixes this issue in several places.
