This fixes Trac #12529. The hard error coming from visible type application is still there, but the out-of-scope error is no longer suppressed. (Arguably the VTA message should be suppressed somehow, but that's a battle for another day.) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12529#comment:6> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
