Issue created Apr 12, 2008 by chevalier@alum.wellesley.edu@trac-chevalier

Better error message for unboxed types with no -fglasgow-exts flag

If I compile:

module Foo where

import GHC.Exts

foo = I# 42#

with ghc -c, I get:

Overloaded.hs:6:0: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation)

A better message would suggest using -fglasgow-exts (or something.)
