[Agda] parsing reports

A minor note on Agda-2.3.2 MAlonzo:
when a type constructor is not in scope, the type checker reports
"could not parse this expression ...",
-- without explaining the reason any more precisely.
Why the checker does not report, say, "... not in scope" ?
For example,
open import Data.Maybe using (Maybe) -- `just' is forgotten
f : Maybe Bool -> Bool
f (just _) = true
f _ = false
causes "could not parse (just _)"
rather than "not in scope: just"
For the examples with a complex expression this leads to difficulty in
finding the source of this kind of error.
