 It is suggested with non-`~` type operators

 {{{
 Prelude> :t undefined @((+) _ _)

 <interactive>:1:1: error:
     Pattern syntax in expression context: undefined@((+) (_) (_))
     Did you mean to enable TypeApplications?
 }}}

 but not with

 {{{
 Prelude> :t undefined @((~) _ _)

 <interactive>:1:15: error: parse error on input ‘)’
 }}}
