-- The type signature for 'error' is a gross hack.

-- First, we can't give an accurate type for error, because it mentions
11
-- an open type variable.
12
-- Second, we can't even say error :: [Char] -> a, because Char is defined
13
-- in GHC.Base, and that would make Err.lhs-boot mutually recursive
15
-- Fortunately it doesn't matter what type we give here because the
16
-- compiler will use its wired-in version. But we have
17
-- to mention 'error' so that it gets exported from this .hi-boot
