#2216: Bad error message for unboxed types with no -fglasgow-exts flag

 If I compile:
 {{{
 module Foo where

 import GHC.Exts

 foo = I# 42#
 }}}
 with {{{ghc -c}}}, I get:
 {{{
 Overloaded.hs:6:0: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation)
 }}}

 A better message would suggest using {{{-fglasgow-exts}}} (or something.)
