+(* This example used to emphasize the absence of LEGO-style universe
+   polymorphism; Matthieu's improvements of typing on 2011/3/11 now
+   makes (apparently) that Amokrane's automatic eta-expansion in the
+   coercion mechanism works; this makes its illustration as a "weakness"
+   of universe polymorphism obsolete (example submitted by Randy Pollack).
+
+   Note that this example is not an evidence that the current
+   non-kernel eta-expansion behavior is the most expected one.

+Parameter K : forall T : Type, T -> T.

+   note that the inferred term is
+     "(K (forall T (* u1 *) : Type, T -> T) (fun T:Type (* u1 *) => K T))"

+     "(K (forall T : Type, T -> T) K"
+   because the eta-expansion of the latter
+     "(K (forall T : Type, T -> T) (fun T:Type (* u2 *) => K T)"
