What is actually a first reference for the fact that for every polynomial
endofunctor of Set a final coalgebra consists of all properly labelled
(finite and infinite) trees? I suspect the first authors to study this
were Arbib and Manes in their
"Parametrized data types do not need...", Information and control 52
(1982), 139-158.
However, it is obvious from that paper that Arbib and Manes were
definitely unaware of the general statement, which explains why they only
mention some special cases in their book in 1986.
