Comment (by simonpj):

 'guest' writes "In the wake of the GHC survey Simon PJ asked for error
 messages that could be improved. This is such an error message."

 And indeed I have improved it:
 {{{

 Foo4.hs:4:0:
     Equations for `f' have different numbers of arguments
       Foo4.hs:4:0-14
       Foo4.hs:5:0-14
 }}}
 It's nothing to do with the type signature, which might be absent, or
 might have more args than the defintion.

 Simon
