Parentheses are not placed around lambda expressions when dumping template haskell splices.

One strange thing about this bug is that it only occurs when using "-ddump-splices", and not when using Language.Haskell.TH.Ppr.pprint

x = mkName "x"

thb = QuasiQuoter (const [| $(return . LamE [VarP x] $ VarE x) . id |])
                  undefined undefined undefined

<interactive>:0:1-8: Splicing expression
    " " ======> (\ x -> x . id)

<interactive>:0:1:
    No instance for (Show (c0 -> c0))
      arising from a use of `print'
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Show (c0 -> c0))
    In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it
