 commit b988dc39a06278acc2373ba9a40ee08da0127411
 {{{
 Author: Simon Peyton Jones 
 Date:   Mon Apr 29 17:28:20 2013 +0100

     Suppress a misleading error message (Trac #7869)

     We were saying
          The function `f' is applied to one argument,
          but its type `[a] -> b' has only one
     which is obviously bogus.

     This fix suppresses the explanation in cases where it may not
     be the *right* explanation.
