Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I don't see what is strange about this? It's no stranger than `f :: forall
 a b. a -> Int -> (a, b)` at least, which is accepted.

 Replying to [comment:8 goldfire]:
 > Note that the quantifier for `b` hasn't been encountered in the term
 definition, which takes only one argument.

 Yeah... and? I don't see what the term definition has to do with anything
 here.
