Hello, See this message: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13145/ Your (initial) program should work in GHC 6.2. I actually find this feature useful, but Simon apparently changed this when moving to GHC 6.4 and nobody complained... Apparently not many people use this feature.

This counterintuitive typechecking result came up when I wrote a wrapper around runST. Is there some limitation of HM with respect to type checking pattern matching?
data X a b = X (a -> a) run :: forall a. (forall b. X a b) -> a -> a -- This definition doesn't pass the typechecker run (X f) = f -- But this definition works run x = (\(X f) -> f) x
