Comment (by goldfire):

 It's
 [https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3bnpa7/compiler_errors_for_humans/
 come to my attention] that my comment:2 may have shut down the
 conversation here. That was the opposite of my intent! I'd love to figure
 out how to break down the problem of difficult-to-work-with error messages
 into its pieces so that we can debate them (and hopefully implement
 improvements) sensibly.

 I should also be clear on one particular point: the biggest barrier to
 getting this done is the love from someone(s) to see it all through. This
 would be a valuable service, indeed.
