Comment (by leroux):

 Instead of completely removing the following error.
 {{{
 λ: id

 <interactive>:2:1:
     No instance for (Show (a0 -> a0)) arising from a use of `print'
     Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Show (a0 -> a0))
     In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it
 }}}

 I think it would be saner and possibly better to just append the {{{:t}}}
 of {{{it}}} to the preceding error message.
