 commit 6d8d0dd94e3216ba2792f1eb9e9e086f188e1c56
 {{{
 Author: Simon Peyton Jones

     Exend the "Too few args" message for naked Ids (Trac #7851)

     Previously, for
       f :: [Bool]
       f = map not

     we'd get a helpful message
         Probable cause: ‛map’ is applied to too few arguments

     but not for
       f :: [Bool]
       f = map

     which seems a bit stupid.
