amusing but very minor bug

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

But it's easy to fix too, so good for a Friday morning. Done

| 
| 
| I've recently been playing with functions with ridiculously 
| high arities.  When you get a type error, ghci 
| conscientiously tries to pinpoint where the error occurred. 
| Not only does it tell you the line number, it also tries to 
| give some structural clues such as
| 
|   ...
|   In the 13rd argument of `foo', namely `bar'
| 
| or
| 
|   ...
|   In the 12nd argument of `f', namely `g'
| 
| Of course, you see the problem with ordinals like 12nd and 
| 13rd!  Obviously, fixing this should not be high on anyone's 
| priority list. :-)
