 GHCi generates typed hole warnings in type signatures even when
 PartialTypeSignatures is enabled:

 {{{
 > :set -XPartialTypeSignatures

 > :t (==) :: Char -> _
 <interactive>:1:17: Warning:
     Found hole ‘_’ with type: Char -> Bool
     In an expression type signature: Char -> _
     In the expression: (==) :: Char -> _
 (==) :: Char -> _ :: Char -> Char -> Bool

 > :set -XNoPartialTypeSignatures

 > :t (==) :: Char -> _
 <interactive>:1:17:
     Found hole ‘_’ with type: Char -> Bool
     To use the inferred type, enable PartialTypeSignatures
     In an expression type signature: Char -> _
     In the expression: (==) :: Char -> _
 }}}

 Similarly, GHC 7.10.1, when given the following source,

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE PartialTypeSignatures #-}

 f = (==) :: Char -> _

 main = return ()
 }}}

 mentions that it "found a hole".
