 If you run the following module with GHC(i):

 > module Main where
 > main = "hi"

 You get the error message:

 > Couldn't match expected type `IO a' against inferred type `[Char]'
 > In the first argument of `GHC.TopHandler.runMainIO', namely `main'
 > When checking the type of the function `main'

 The error message would be a bit nicer if the second line was hidden.
