Hi,

foo _ =  undefined

works fine.
Otherwise the poor little "a" has no chance to get disambiguated.

... Ambiguous type variable `a' in the top-level constraint ...

Hi,

Just out of curiosity (I cannot come up with a practical example): Why doesn't the following piece of code type check in GHC (with extensions)?

> foo :: (forall a . (Eq a) => a) -> Integer
> foo =  undefined

It seems like the type-class constraint is playing a decisive rôle here, since the following does check.

> bar :: (forall a . a) -> Integer
> bar =  undefined

TIA,

Stefan
