formatting error on advice involving infix constructors

This seems to be an instance of a larger issue involving formatting of infix type constructors, but if I write a bad import statement, ghc gives me some advice to fix it:

Text/Trifecta/Strand.hs:17:25:
    In module `Data.FingerTree':
      `:<' is a data constructor of `ViewL'
    To import it use
      `import Data.FingerTree (ViewL (:<))'
    or
      `import Data.FingerTree (ViewL (..))'

but to actually import it you need

import Data.FingerTree (ViewL ((:<)))
