`--postfix-projections` do not make use of mixfix syntax

[Andreas Abel]

Consider the testcase for #2288:

record Setoid : Set₁ where
  field
    ∣_∣    : Set
    {{eq}} : Eq ∣_∣
open Setoid

NatSetoid : Setoid
∣ NatSetoid ∣ = Nat

The error with --no-postfix-projections is:

No instance of type Eq ∣ NatSetoid ∣ ...

With --postfix-projections we get:

No instance of type Eq (NatSetoid .∣_∣)

This isn't pretty. Postfix notation should not kick in when we can actually use the mixfix-syntax.

A little doubt: the field ∣_∣ : Set is actually a hack, exploiting the questionable "feature" of Agda to blindly apply mixfix syntax even when outside the module it was defined in.

• #632

So maybe the current broken postfix printing is less wrong than the prefix printing.

Opinions?
