Comment (by thomie):

 Again discussed in this thread:
 https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3tm3lv/proposal_expectedactual_requiredfound/

 Not much new. `expected/found` instead of `expected/actual` seems a
 popular choice.

 I vote for switching the order as well, mentioning the word "context", and
 perhaps omitting the word `actual`. Something like this:
 {{{
 Couldn't match type ‘Char’ with type ‘Bool’ expected from context.
 }}}
