        It's also used to instantiate un-constrained type variables after type
-       checking.  For example
+       checking.  For example, {\tt length} has type
+
+       {\tt length :: forall a. [a] -> Int}
+
+       and the list datacon for the empty list has type
+
+       {\tt [] :: forall a. [a]}
+
+       In order to compose these two terms as {\tt length []} a type
+       application is required, but there is no constraint on the
+       choice.  In this situation GHC uses {\tt Any}:
 
-       {\tt length Any []}
+       {\tt length Any ([] Any)}
 
        Annoyingly, we sometimes need {\tt Any}s of other kinds, such as {\tt (* -> *)} etc.
        This is a bit like tuples.   We define a couple of useful ones here,
