Having played with haskell parsers for various reasons, the layout rule
is quite tricky due to the rules involving 'parse-error'. if we could
come up with a formulation that didn't have those. it would make things
a whole lot nicer. something like an unexpected 'in', 'of', ')' '}'
']' might do it. the lexer would have to keep track of matching
brackets.. hmmm..
