-GHC allows types of arbitrary rank; you can nest <literal>forall</literal>s
-arbitrarily deep in function arrows. (GHC used to be restricted to rank 2, but
-that restriction has now been lifted.)
+GHC has three flags to control higher-rank types:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+ <option>-XPolymorphicComponents</option>: data constructors (only) can have polymorphic argment types.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+ <option>-XRank2Types</option>: any function (including data constructors) can have a rank-2 type.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+ <option>-XRankNTypes</option>: any function (including data constructors) can have an arbitrary-rank type.
+That is, you can nest <literal>forall</literal>s
+arbitrarily deep in function arrows.
