I wonder if it would be possible to report
Could not infer type for the 1st parameter of an anonymous function

I think it would be possible, but I'm not sure it's desirable, I think here we need to show some internals

The internal names of _ and other unamed variables are only useful to us. Never to the user as they cannot use them in the source.

I agree, but we need to show the desugarring anyways, as the issue might be that the user missunderstood how _ works
And therefore need names in the desugarring (but these could be something else than _$1)
