I agree with Simon that two forms of binding feels like a heavyweight
solution. Variable-binding is just such a fundamental thing, that
introducing a second form would need exceptional justification IMO.
However partial type signatures seem like a very nice alternative.
Just as currently, the decision on monomorphising a binding is based
on the type signature (its presence, absence, or form).
