 GHC's typed hole messages don't currently include any known context
 information for relevant bindings. For example:

 {{{#!hs
 bar :: a ~ b => a -> b -> Int
 bar x y = _
 }}}

 gets me

 {{{
     Found hole ‘_’ with type: Int
     Relevant bindings include
       y :: b (bound at <interactive>:8:42)
       x :: a (bound at <interactive>:8:40)
       bar :: a -> b -> Int (bound at <interactive>:8:36)
     In the expression: _
     In an equation for ‘bar’: bar x y = _
 }}}

 The types `a` and `b` are not unified, and the `a ~ b` constraint is not
 shown.

 {{{#!hs
 foo :: Show a => a -> Int
 foo x = _
 }}}

 gets me

 {{{
     Found hole ‘_’ with type: Int
     Relevant bindings include
       x :: a (bound at <interactive>:4:36)
       foo :: a -> Int (bound at <interactive>:4:32)
     In the expression: _
     In an equation for ‘foo’: foo x = _
 }}}

 The `Show` constraint is lost.

 === What I want ===

 I'd like context information for all type variables in known bindings, so
 I can see all the pieces available to help me fill in the hole.

 === Related ticket ===

 In #9479, Dominique Devriese wants to see any constraints ''on'' an
 ambiguously-typed hole.
