`simpa` type mismatch error message could be improved

Description
When doing simpa using e
, if the simplified type of e
is not defeq to the simplified type of the target, then the error message is obscure, saying that h✝
has a type mismatch.
Context
This came up on Zulip
Steps to Reproduce
Here is an example:
example (p q : Prop) (hp : p ∧ True) : p ∧ q ∧ True := by
simpa using hp
/-
type mismatch
h✝
has type
p : Prop
but is expected to have type
p ∧ q : Prop
-/
The expected behavior is that the error message explains that the simplified type of hp
is p
and the simplified target is p ∧ q
, and that it doesn't mention the inaccessible variable created by simpa
to process the using
expression.
