= Preliminary specification
Have
- `(::` ''type'' `)`
be syntax sugar for
- `(\x -> x ::` ''type'' `)`
This new syntax extension is enabled via a new `SignatureSections` or maybe `TypeSignatureSections` language pragma, e.g.
{{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE TypeSignatureSections #-} }}}
Typing judgement:
{{{ _________________________ G ⊢ (:: ty) :: ty -> ty }}}
TODO: formalise this a bit more
