Order of declarations affects the correctness of reported error.

In the following code

f :: A -> A
f

data A = A 

leads to an out of scope error for 'A', whereas

data A = A 

f :: A -> A
f

correctly claims that 'f' lacks an accompanying binding, and

data A = A 

f :: A -> A
f = id
f

produces that error that `f'

is used in a top-level splice or annotation,

and must be imported, not defined locally.

Finally,

g = f
h
f = id

Gives an out of scope error for 'f', not 'h'
