 A {\bf binder} is a symbol associated with a constant of type
-$(\sigma\To\tau)\To\tau'$.  For instance, we may declare~$\forall$ as
-a binder for the constant~$All$, which has type $(\alpha\To o)\To o$.
-This defines the syntax $\forall x.t$ to mean $All(\lambda x.t)$.  We
-can also write $\forall x@1\ldots x@m.t$ to abbreviate $\forall x@1.

-$\tau$ and $\tau'$ are the same type.  \HOL's description operator
-$\varepsilon x.P\,x$ has type $(\alpha\To bool)\To\alpha$ and can bind
-only one variable, except when $\alpha$ is $bool$.  \ZF's bounded
-quantifier $\forall x\in A.P(x)$ cannot be declared as a binder
