#4499: "skolem type variable" is bad for usability (and beginners)

Comment(by guest):
Yes, I think that sounds better with one caveat:
* Finding the wiki article describing how to fix it seems important. At
least, I found that article very helpful and I only found it because
'skolem' was in my google search.
Hence my suggestion to mention 'skolem' somewhere in the error (just de-
emphasized). Does that make sense?
