commit 0b8ea972714f7f368a3b1884477fdf4e24cc1bf4
Author: Simon Peyton Jones <[email protected]>

    Add a type signature for a function with an ambiguous type
    
    There's a comment with visit_PPSArgs to explain.  GHC was rightfully
    rejecting visit_PPS as having an ambiguous type.  And it does!  It
    worked before because the ambiguity involved only standard classes
    and hence was resolved.
    
    (I suppose this could be a warning instead.  But I'm fixing the test
    anyway.)
