 Currently Luau allows generic functions to be inferred but not given explicit type annotations. For example
 
-```
+```lua
 function id(x) return x end
 local x: string = id("hi")
 local y: number = id(37)

 We could introduce syntax for generic types without changing the semantics, but then there'd be a gap between the syntax (where the types `() -> <a>(a) -> a` and `<a>() -> (a) -> a` are different) and the semantics (where they are not). As noted above, this isn't sound.
 
-Rather than using Rank-N types, we could use SML-style polymorphism, but this would need something like the [value restriction](http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~smithg/cop4555/valrestr.html) to be sound.
