 {{{
 Prelude> print length

 <interactive>:2:1:
     No instance for (Show ([a0] -> Int)) arising from a use of ‘print’
         but there is an instance for (Show Int);
         maybe you omitted an argument to ‘length’ of type [a0]?
     In the expression: print length
     In an equation for ‘it’: it = print length
 }}}

 I guess the trickiest part will be figuring out what function is
 underapplied.
