 	It's also used to instantiate un-constrained type variables after type
-	checking.  For example

+	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

-	{\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,
