pprFamInstLHS drops parentheses

If I say

data family (a + b) c d

data instance (Int + Bool) Double = Float

GHC says

    • Expecting one more argument to ‘Int + Bool Double’
      Expected a type, but ‘Int + Bool Double’ has kind ‘* -> *’
    • In the data instance declaration for ‘+’

Note the missing parens in the first line of the error.

Will fix shortly.
