Changes (by simonpj):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix


Comment:

 Yes, in Haskell `Prelude.(+)` means `(Prelude . (+))`, that is the
 composition of the function `Prelude` and the function `(+)`.

 There's a Haskell Prime proposal to change this:
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/QualifiedOperators]

 Till then I don't see how we can improve the error message.
