[Haskell-cafe] RankNTypes question

[Nikolay Amiantov]

Hm, now that I look at it, I've given the wrong example which badly 
describes what I want -- sorry. Let me give you a more specific one:

{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}

test :: (forall a. (a -> a)) -> (Int -> Int)
test = id-- something else should be here

i.e., I want to "specialize" a polymorphic value -- in this case, a 
polymorphic function to the function on `Int`s.
