+Note [VTA for out-of-scope functions]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Suppose 'wurble' is not in scope, and we have
+ (wurble @Int @Bool True 'x')
+
+Then the renamer will make (HsUnboundVar "wurble) for 'wurble',
+and the typechecker will typecheck it with tcUnboundId, giving it
+a type 'alpha', and emitting a deferred CHoleCan constraint, to
+be reported later.
+
+But then comes the visible type application. If we do nothing, we'll
+generate an immediate failure (in tc_app_err), saying that a function
+of type 'alpha' can't be applied to Bool. That's insane! And indeed
+users complain bitterly (#13834, #17150.)
+
+The right error is the CHoleCan, which reports 'wurble' as out of
+scope, and tries to give its type.
+
+Fortunately in tcArgs we still have acces to the function, so
+we can check if it is a HsUnboundVar. If so, we simply fail
+immediately. We've already inferred the type of the function,
+so we'll /already/ have emitted a CHoleCan constraint; failing
+preserves that constraint.
+
+A mild shortcoming of this approach is that we thereby
+don't typecheck any of the arguments, but so be it.
