TypeApplications error message doesn't parenthesize infix name
If you compile the following program:
module Bug where
f :: (Int -> Int) -> (Int -> Int) -> (Int -> Int)
f = (.) @Int
You'll get this error:
$ /opt/ghc/8.4.3/bin/ghc Bug.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug ( Bug.hs, Bug.o )
Bug.hs:4:6: error:
Pattern syntax in expression context: .@Int
Did you mean to enable TypeApplications?

4 | f = (.) @Int
| ^^^^^^^^
I was taken aback by this strange .@ thing before I realized what was actually going on: the error message simply forgot to parenthesize .. This is ppr_expr's fault, since it calls ppr on an RdrName instead of pprPrefixOcc. Patch incoming.
