Remarks

One of the strengths of Haskell is the ability to leverage the type system to model parts of your problem domain in the type system. In doing so, one often encounters very complex types. When writing programs with these types (i.e. with values having these types) it occasionally becomes nearly unmangeable to 'juggle' all of the types. As of GHC 7.8, there is a new syntactic feature called typed holes. Typed holes do not change the semantics of the core language; they are intended purely as an aid for writing programs.

For an in-depth explanation of typed holes, as well as a discussion of the design of typed holes, see the Haskell wiki.
