Comment:
Good point. I've improved the error messages. For imports:
{{{
Foo.hs:4:11:
Misplaced type signature: putStrLn :: String -> IO ()
You cannot give a type signature for an imported value
}}}
For locals:
{{{
Foo.hs:4:11:
Misplaced type signature: p :: String -> IO ()
The type signature must be given where `p' is declared
}}}
Thanks for the suggestion
Simon
