DsMeta fails with a panic if it encounters something it can't desugar into
 TH syntax.  This is bad: the error should be civilised.  But there's no
 current provision for desugarer *errors*, only *warnings*.

 Add errors, and perhaps promote the error/warning box into the part that
 is shared between all uses of IOEnv (renamer, typechecker, desugarer)

 Nothing hard, a bit tedious.
