Comment:
Function application precedence would be inconvenient: usually you want
SCC to extend "as far to the right as possible". So right now SCC parses
in the same way as `\x -> e`, that is is gobbles up as much `e` as it can.
I think this makes sense for SCC, and I don't buy the argument that an SCC
annotation should not affect the parse: pragmas that the compiler
understands are part of the syntax. Pragmas that the compiler does not
understand are treated as comments, as they should be.
