Be a little bit more user-friendly when encountering record puns,
which is no longer supported by Haskell. Instead of a Plain Old Parse
Error, print out

  foo.hs:11:11: Haskell 98 does not support 'punning' on records ....

Hopefully that should give the user a big enough hint at what's
going wrong..
