Lexer: Suggest adding 'let' on unexpected '=' token
Summary: I've heard numerous fledgling Haskeller's complain about the behavior of ghci regarding bindings. While most REPLs accept bindings of the form `x = 42`, GHCi is implicitly a `do` block, meaning that the user must know to use a `let` to introduce a binding. Here we suggest to the user that they may need a `let` and give them a small example in the event that we find an unexpected `=` token.
