Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't really see how to improve this.
 Sometimes it's really, really heplful to have the localised mis-match,
 rather than
 {{{
 Can't match (Tree Int -> [[Maybe a]] -> [Tree (Maybe a)])
 with (Tree Int -> [[a]] -> [Tree (Maybe a)}
 }}}
 when it's hard to do a visual diff.  I suppose I could leave out the
 "rigid" part if that would be less confusing.

 Simon
