It's not just you. That's why I didn't mention holes in the book as people
suggested. It's not just confusing for new people - it drives me nuts every
time I use a hole in non-trivial code at work.

Unless something has changed really recently that I've missed, the typed holes messages are missing some really important information: instance information for types in scope. When I am trying to fill in a hole, I look to the "relevant bindings" to show me what pieces I have available to use. Those pieces don't include contexts! Is there something fundamentally hard about adding this information? I'd only want instance information for type variables--providing it for concrete types would make too much noise. I'd also want information on equality constraints, of course.
