> When I see “applied to too many arguments” I know I added an extra one.

Does anyone understand the complaint here? It sounds like the error message describes exactly what's wrong!

I don't understand the downvotes. I thought the same thing. I agree with the other complaint on the error for too few arguments being unfortunate, but the one with too many arguments is on point.

I mean, it took me a beat to learn to actually read GHC error messages instead of jumping to where it's pointing in the code and assuming I know what's wrong. That's kinda the opposite of the complaint, though, except insofar as both involve learning.
