Comment (by kosmikus):
Yes, what you suggest would be fine. I don't attach much meaning to the
word ``Given'', so I'd probably just say
{{{
Constraints: Eq a
}}}
For example 2, I'd be happy with a very similar line saying
{{{
Constraints: Eq a0
}}}
The situation is different from Ex 1 in the sense that `Eq a` in Ex 1 is a
constraint you can use, whereas `Eq a0` in Ex 2 is a constraint that
you're required to adhere to while filling the hole. But this information
is already available from the fact that `a0` in Ex 2 appears only in the
type of the hole itself, so I think I'd be happy enough if the constraints
are shown in the same way.
For Ex 3, I'd like either
{{{
Found hole ‘_’ with type: Int
Relevant bindings include
x :: Int (bound at THC.hs:13:5)
}}}
or
{{{
Found hole ‘_’ with type: Int
Relevant bindings include
x :: a (bound at THC.hs:13:5)
[...]
Constraints: a ~ Int
}}}
