Subject: What is "principal typing"?
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 22:53:30 +0100	[thread overview]

Now, this may sound a stupid question, but I am no guru of mathematics and
type theory... Could somebody point me to some documents explaining what the
principal typing is and why is it useful? (Supposedly, this is some property
that type inference systems should have...)
