LambdaCase should be suggested if it is used but not enabled

If I try to make a multiparameter typeclass GHC (well, GHCi here) advises me to turn on MultiParamTypeClasses

Prelude> class C a b where
...
  (Use MultiParamTypeClasses to allow multi-parameter classes)

But if I try to use \case it doesn't give me a helpful suggestion

Prelude> :t \case (_,_) -> ()

<interactive>:1:2: error: parse error on input ‘case’

Could it?
