Which may seem strange at first but I suspect the reason why it works is that () is considered a prefix constructor and so it makes sense for it to accept record update/match syntax (ignoring the fact that it is later reserved for unit)
I point this out because it could be useful for building anonymous records plugin, without reserving any special constructor name
It seems like this code survives GHC parser:
