Change of string representation of function or tuple
scalac prints a function the same way as a tuple:
scala> def f: (String, Int) => Unit = (a, b) => ()
f: (String, Int) => Unit
scala> def g: ((String, Int)) => Unit = a => ()
g: (String, Int) => Unit
This leads to incomprehensible error messages. One of them is mentioned
in this topic on StackOverflow [1].
I think either the string representation of tuples or the one of
functions should be changed.
Is there already a topic discussing this? If not, do you agree to change
the string representations?

Re: Change of string representation of function or tuple
I believe that this has already been fixed and will be rolled out in 2.9.2:
