for the record ...

 > t2 =
 >  do rec
 >       a <- getChar
 >       b <- f c
 >       c <- g b
 >       putChar c
 >       return b

 > f = return . (const 'a')
 > g = return

eg.lhs:23:6:
     The last statement in a 'do' construct must be an expression
Failed, modules loaded: none.

so I suppose it is not so far from "recognising" the construct and yet 
too far!
