Allow view patterns inside record patterns

I think it would be nice if I could directly write a view pattern inside a record pattern. Currently the following program causes a parse error.

{-# LANGUAGE ViewPatterns #-}
newtype Foo = Foo{ fooA :: Int }

main = case Foo 4 of
    Foo{ fooA = show -> s } -> print s
    --Foo{ fooA = (show -> s) } -> print s -- This version is ok.
