Before this patch, referring to a data constructor in a term-level context led to a scoping error: ghci> id Int <interactive>:1:4: error: Data constructor not in scope: Int After this patch, the renamer falls back to the type namespace and successfully finds the Int. It is then rejected in the type checker with a more useful error message: <interactive>:1:4: error: • Illegal term-level use of the type constructor ‘Int’ imported from ‘Prelude’ (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Types’) • In the first argument of ‘id’, namely ‘Int’ In the expression: id Int We also do this for type variables.
