GHC considers typed holes to be variables that are out of scope, but with special handling in the diagnostics. (Apparently.) So typed holes have the same error number as out-of-scope variables, even though they arise in (from the programmer's perspective) quite different situations.
This adds a simple example and some text explaining how typed holes can be useful.
