Say you define a `myadd` function:
let myadd x y = x + y
Then the type is `Num a => a -> a -> a`. If on the other hand, you define
the method using currying:
let myadd2 \x -> \y -> x + y
The type is more specific: `Integer -> Integer -> Integer`. Strangely
enough `:t \x -> \y -> x + y` returns the more general form.
