Duh, you're right... silly me. I always put spaces between the operator,
but many people of course don't.

I once thought that... there was the opposition that (x-1) subtraction
of a constant appears too often. And I found that I myself wrote that
several times. And saying "whitespace on the left but not the right"
seems too complicated for Haskell lexer semantics. So the current
situation is just unhappy, that's all. (and maybe compiler warnings
could still be implemented)
