You can see that used in this F# code:

And in this near-Haskell code:

Yeah. Scala also uses simplified signatures for some of their methods
[1]. They have a section last in the documentation for each symbol that
can be expanded to show the full signature. This is actually where I got
the idea. Although I haven't been able to find the source code for the
documentation so I don't know if it's manually specified. I'm suspecting
that because it's only available for very few methods.
