+The Hilbert description operator $\varepsilon x.P\,x$ has type $(\alpha\To
+bool)\To\alpha$ and normally binds only one variable.
+ZF's bounded quantifier $\forall x\in A.P(x)$ cannot be declared as a
binder because it has type $[i, i\To o]\To o$. The syntax for binders allows
type constraints on bound variables, as in
\[ \forall (x{::}\alpha) \; (y{::}\beta) \; z{::}\gamma. Q(x,y,z) \]
