Comment (by Richard Eisenberg <eir@…>):

 In [changeset:"5d98b8bf249fab9bb0be6c5d4e8ddd4578994abb/ghc"
 5d98b8bf/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="5d98b8bf249fab9bb0be6c5d4e8ddd4578994abb"
 Clean up some pretty-printing in errors.

 It turns out that there were some pretty egregious mistakes
 in the code that suggested -fprint-explicit-kinds, which are
 fixed. This commit also reorders a bunch of error messages,
 which I think is an improvement.

 This also adds the test case for #11471, which is what
 triggered the cleanup in TcErrors. Now that #11473 is done,
 there is nothing more outstanding for #11471.

 test case: dependent/should_fail/T11471
 }}}
