We get {{{ T12768.hs:8:7: error: • Cannot apply expression of type ‘t1’ to a visible type argument ‘Int’ • In the expression: bar @Int }}} Confusingly, the "`bar` is not in scope`" error (the true error) has been suppressed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12794 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
