Comment:

 Reply to [[span(style=color: #FF0000, goldfire )]]:\\
 you have to write {{{:t 'a':'b':[]}}}\\
 reply {{{'a':'b':[] :: [Char]}}}\\\\

 otherwise {{{:t 1:2:[]}}}\\
 reply {{{1:2:[] :: Num a => [a]}}}\\\\

 That's right, it sounds weird. I'm reopening this ticket so you can think
 a little better about the problem, goldfire.\\
 Thanks.
