<br>All MR does is it prevents a binding from being generalized. Another way to achieve

<br>scoped t.v., you can't give a signature to 'len' while keeping 'f' polymorphic
<br>in the return type. With scoped t.v., you can:
<br>
<br> f :: forall a b . Num a => [b] -> (a,a)
<br> f xs = (len, len)
<br> where
<br> len :: a
<br> len = genericLength xs
