 The key to the extra expressive power provided by System F is evident

 In fact, unlike in the simply-typed lambda calculus, 
 it is even possible to give a type for &omega; in System F.

 In order to see how this works, we'll apply &omega; to the identity

 Since the type of the identity function is `∀α.α->α`, it's the
