    Fix suggestions for unbound variables (#11680) · f93c9517
    Jason Eisenberg authored and Ben Gamari's avatar Ben Gamari committed
    When the typechecker generates the error message for an out-of-scope
    variable, it now uses the GlobalRdrEnv with respect to which the
    variable is unbound, not the GlobalRdrEnv which is available at the time
    the error is reported.  Doing so ensures we do not provide suggestions
    which themselves are out-of-scope (because they are bound in a later
    inter-splice group).
    
    Nonetheless, we do note in the error message if an unambiguous, exact
    match to the out-of-scope variable is found in a later inter-splice
    group, and we specify where that match is not in scope.
