Compiler outputs pages of whitespace in middle of 'name clash' error report
Quick Summary: The compiler outputs pages of whitespace in the middle of reporting a name clash error
SSCCE
Source
type T

break : T -> T -> T
break a b =
case ( a, b ) of
( T t, T t ) ->
T 0
Expected output
Detected problems in 1 module.
-- NAME CLASH ------------------------------------------- src/Tree.elm
This `case` pattern has multiple `t` variables.

How can I know which one you want? Rename one of them!
Received output

Very strange! Great SSCCE. Will circle back to this for the next compiler release.
Just came across similar behavior in simpler contexts:
f =
\t t -> 0
Detected problems in 1 module.
-- NAME CLASH -------------------------------------- src/Filename.elm
This anonymous function has multiple `t` arguments.
234| \t t -> 0

f t t = 0
Detected problems in 1 module.
-- NAME CLASH -------------------------------------- src/Filename.elm
The `f` function has multiple `t` arguments.
233| f t t =
