That is the same as just
library :: NetworkDescription t (Behavior t String) -> IO ()
which means that the caller gets to pick which type "t" stands for. But with
this:
library :: (forall t. NetworkDescription t (Behavior t [Char])) -> IO ()
the caller is forced to pass a value that works for any type t, and the library
function gets to choose.
