[Haskell-cafe] Question on rank-N polymorphism

[Wouter Swierstra]

> The idea is that fs accepts a polymorphic function as its argument.
> What type signature can I specify for f in order to compile this code?

As you said yourself, you need to add a type signature to fs:

> {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
>

> fs :: ((forall a . ((a, a) -> a)) -> t) -> (t, t)
> fs g = (g fst, g snd)
>
> examples = (fs id, fs repeat, fs (\x -> [x]), fs ((,)id))


Hope this helps,
