Comment:
Yes, in Haskell `Prelude.(+)` means `(Prelude . (+))`, that is the
composition of the function `Prelude` and the function `(+)`.
There's a Haskell Prime proposal to change this:
[http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/QualifiedOperators]
Till then I don't see how we can improve the error message.
