Before this patch, NegativeLiterals used to parse x-1 as x (-1). This may not be what the user expects, and now it is fixed: x-1 is parsed as (-) x 1. We achieve this by the following requirement: * When lexing a negative literal, it must not be preceded by a 'closing token'. This also applies to unboxed literals, e.g. -1#. See GHC Proposal #229 for the definition of a closing token. A nice consequence of this change is that -XNegativeLiterals becomes a subset of -XLexicalNegation. In other words, enabling both of those extensions has the same effect as enabling -XLexicalNegation alone.
