I would argue that this is not a dichotomy. On the contrary: In general, a
language that's easier to parse mechanically is also easier to parse by a
human. The converse isn't always true, but still, optimizing for mechanical
parsers also tends to help humans.

The choice isn't really between writing
[T]/[T Foo],
or writing
[T any]/[T Foo].
It's between the latter and
[type T]/[type T Foo].
So, assuming the first one isn't an option, do you still find the last one
preferable over the second one?
