Error cascade with type applications

Using type applications with an out of scope identifier causes an unfortunate error cascade.

foo = notInScope @Bool

Leads to the right out of scope error but also an error about using type application when notInScope is not a polytype. I think the second error should be suppressed.

t.hs:4:7: error: Variable not in scope: notInScope
  |
4 | foo = notInScope @Bool
  |       ^^^^^^^^^^

t.hs:4:7: error:
    • Cannot apply expression of type ‘t1’
      to a visible type argument ‘Bool’ notInScope
    • In the expression: notInScope @Bool
      In an equation for ‘foo’: foo = notInScope @Bool
  |
4 | foo = notInScope @Bool
  |       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
