take one step at a time, and fix the issue you are having within #11014. Once that is through and merged, then (or in parallel to) trying to trim down the bound-at messages can be attempted.

We have had this discussion before (in the context of avoiding or merging multiple instances of the same error message, such as “foo not in scope”), and I continue to argue that the error messages printed by default should be tailored for the human reader. IDEs should ideally make use of something based on the GHC API. If that is not possible, then I’d advocate a flag, say "-fverbose-error- messages" or similar that includes all detail that might be relevant for an IDE, and maybe even in a nicer-to-parse format.
