the five signatures

By alpha-convertible I mean the usual thing from lambda calculus, they are identical modulo the names of bound variables.
So only the first two are alpha-convertible to each other.

If you involve any kind of reduction the equivalence test is no longer trivial.

All I'm asking for really, is to be able to paste in the type that was inferred as the signature, without the compiler complaining.
