I&#39;m trying to use the `ghc-mod` vim plugin to do type/syntax checking etc. However, I found that `ghc-mod` always uses full paths of types in the error messages, for example:

    test.hs|71 col 13 error| Couldn&#39;t match type ‘Data.Text.Internal.Text’                                                                                   
    ||                with ‘[GHC.Types.Char]’
    || Expected type: containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Map.Base.Map
    ||                  [GHC.Types.Char]
    ||                  ([(integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer,
    ||                     integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer)],
    ||                   containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Set.Base.Set
    ||                     integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer)
    ||   Actual type: containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Map.Base.Map
    ||                  Data.Text.Internal.Text
    ||                  ([(integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer,
    ||                     integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer)],
    ||                   containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Set.Base.Set
    ||                     integer-gmp-1.0.0.0:GHC.Integer.Type.Integer)
    || In the second argument of ‘containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Map.Base.map’, namely
    ||   ‘zippedMap’
    || In the second argument of ‘(GHC.Base.$)’, namely
    ||   ‘containers-0.5.6.2:Data.Map.Base.map
    ...

which clutters the screen and it&#39;s very hard for me to find out where went wrong. As comparison, this is the error message for the same file using `ghci`:

    test.hs:71:13:
        Couldn&#39;t match type ‘T.Text’ with ‘[Char]’
        Expected type: M.Map [Char] ([(Integer, Integer)], S.Set Integer)
          Actual type: M.Map T.Text ([(Integer, Integer)], S.Set Integer)
        In the second argument of ‘M.map’, namely ‘zippedMap’
        In the second argument of ‘($)’, namely
          ‘M.map
    ...

which is much cleaner. Is there a way to make `ghc-mod` use short names for the types?
