(ImplicitParams) Allow ? in binding patterns
This is mostly useful when dealing with ImplicitParams. Suppose "foo" takes an implicit parameter "?msg"
-- Invalid, parse error in pattern ?msg
bar ?msg = foo
\?msg -> foo
-- With -XViewPatterns, same issue
bar ( ... -> ?msg) = foo
Instead, you are forced to create a local let binding
bar msg = let ?msg = msg in foo
\msg -> let ?msg = msg in foo
bar ( ... -> msg) = let ?msg = msg in foo
