In the [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-
guide/glasgow_exts.html#partial-type-signatures documentation] for partial
type signatures, I found several bits that are out of date:
- There are several sample error messages given. These have been
substantively reworded ({{{Found hole `_` with type: ...}}} to {{{Found
type wildcard `_` standing for ...}}}) where I find the new wording much
clearer.
- In the "Where can they occur?" section, there's no mention of
`TypeApplications`, which is a new context where they can appear.
