An alternative is to say that 'let', 'lambda' and 'if' expressions may
not be immediately followed by '::' or qop.
Sadly none of the three solutions distinguishes between
case x of y | let z = True in z -> y
case x of y | let z = True in z :: Bool -> y
case x of y | let z = True in z :: Bool -> y -> z
Hugs, GHC and NHC all accept the first but not the other two.
