* Now abstract over the 'a', but float out the Num (C d a) constraint
because it does not 'really' mention a. (see exactTyVarsOfType)
The arg to foo becomes
- /\a -> \t -> t+t
+ \/\a -> \t -> t+t
* So we get a dict binding for Num (C d a), which is zonked to give
a = ()
quantification, so the floated dict will still have type (C d a).
Which renders this whole note moot; happily!]
-* Then the /\a abstraction has a zonked 'a' in it.
+* Then the \/\a abstraction has a zonked 'a' in it.
All very silly. I think its harmless to ignore the problem. We'll end up with
-a /\a in the final result but all the occurrences of a will be zonked to ()
+a \/\a in the final result but all the occurrences of a will be zonked to ()
