Uninformative error message for ambiguous implicit conversions #13177

Description

@Alex1005a

Reproduction steps

Scala version: 2.13.18

trait Ops {
  implicit class OpsSyntax[P](private val p: P) {
    def add[P1](p: P): P = ???
  }
}
object Foo extends Ops {
  final case class Bar()
  object Bar extends Ops {
    def x(): Bar = ???
  }
}

object TestErrMsg {
  def test(c: Foo.Bar) = {
    Foo.Bar.x().add(c)
  }
}

Problem

The compiler reports the error message: value add is not a member of testbaderrormessage.this.Foo.Bar. If the type parameter P1 is removed from add, a more informative error message is reported, describing which implicit conversions lead to ambiguity.
