Local definitions are rarely used polymorphically.
Perhaps without a type signature the definition should be polymorphic
and recomputed if it's global, and monomorphic and shared if it's local.
This is how it works in Clean: =: defines a shared constant, => defines
a nullary function, and = is equivalent to =: locally and to => globally,
irrespective of a type signature.
