Bug description

Both error messages highlight the bound identifier and are fairly confusing:

match foo with `Mod mod -> ();;

Error: Syntax error

let lsl = 4;;

Error: Syntax error

Intuitively, we'd like to special-case those errors to explain the conflict with the infix operator, but it's unclear that it is reasonably feasible to do so with the current parsing technology.
