Running 1 twice, followed by a typed hole, in GHCi causes internal error
Originally reported in #14996 (closed)##15037 (closed). You need GHC HEAD (i.e., more recent than GHC 8.4.1) to trigger this:
$ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive
GHCi, version 8.5.20180413: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci

GHC internal error: ‘Ghci1.it’ is not in scope during type checking, but it passed the renamer
tcl_env of environment: []
And yes, running 1 //twice// seems to be critical to triggering this bug, for some reason.
