Err, good question. :-) # let f : _ = fun x -> x in f true, f 3;; - : bool * int = (true, 3) # let f : 'a = fun x -> x in f true, f 3;; Error: This expression has type int but is here used with type bool I'm guessing the scope of the 'a is not what you'd expect but I have no idea why. I'd have thought the latter would be a harmless type annotation...
