Fix error message when variables in a static form are not in scope

If an identifier is out-of-scope but inside a static form (static f) then GHC says expression not closed, when really it should just say identifier out of scope.

t.hs:6:5: error:
    Only identifiers of top-level bindings can appear in the body of the static form:
      static f
    but the following identifiers were found instead:
      f

We just want:

t.hs:6:12: error: Not in scope: ‘f’
