 Similar to what we have for "Warning:".

 E.g., we have:

 {{{
 ➜ cat test.hs
 main = putStrLn "Hello!"
 ➜ ghc --make -fforce-recomp -Wall ./test.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o )

 test.hs:1:1: Warning:
     Top-level binding with no type signature: main :: IO ()
 Linking test ...
 ➜ cat test2.hs
 main = foo
 ➜ ghc --make -fforce-recomp -Wall ./test2.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test2.hs, test2.o )

 test2.hs:1:8: Not in scope: ‘foo’
 }}}

 And I propose having:

 {{{
 ➜ cat test2.hs
 main = foo
 ➜ ghc --make -fforce-recomp -Wall ./test2.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test2.hs, test2.o )

 test2.hs:1:8: Error: Not in scope: ‘foo’
 }}}
