Parse error with let inside of do with { }

This line causes the error:

err = do { let x = 1 ; Just x }

Breaking the line before the ; fixes the error.

This was tested on today's (27 Aug) HEAD.

Thanks for the report, but this isn't a bug: After applying the layout rule, the code looks like this:

do { let { x = 1 ; Just x } }

Bah! I didn't realize that the "parse error" clause of the layout rule does no look-ahead, allowing for the "capturing" of the semi-colon. Thanks for taking a look.
