Comment (by sgillespie):

 Using the above as an example, I presume the output should look like:
 {{{
 <interactive>:1:13: error:
     • Found hole: _ :: t2
       Where: ‘t2’ is a rigid type variable bound by
                the inferred type of it :: t -> t1 -> t2 at
 <interactive>:1:1
     • In the expression: _
       In the expression: \ x -> _
       In the expression: \ x -> \ x -> _
     • Relevant bindings include
         x :: t1 (bound at <interactive>:1:8)
         it :: t -> t1 -> t2 (bound at <interactive>:1:1)
 }}}

 Fare presumption?
