Description
Let's say I looking for any function that consumes a Seed, but I don't know what else I may need to provide for the zero or more additional arguments.
An example of a desired result is:
variant :: forall a. Seed -> Gen a -> Gen a
But variant is not found by:
Seed -> _
Seed -> a
Or even:
Seed -> _ -> _
Seed -> a -> b
Seed -> f a -> f a
This is the most generic option that works:
Seed -> _ a -> _ a
