Description
On a page 139 (8. Type definition) possible union cases listed as follow:
union-type-case-data := 
    ident --null union case
    ident of union-type-field * ... * union-type-field --n-ary union case
    ident : uncurried-sig --n-ary union case
uncurried-sig :=
    args-spec -> type
args-spec :=
    arg-spec * ... * arg-spec
But this one doesn't compile:
type Test =
    | A
    | B of int*int
    | C : int->int
with error:
Return types of union cases must be identical to the type being defined, up to abbreviations
This construct is deprecated: it is only for use in the F# library
But this one is correct:
type Test =
    | A
    | B of int*int
    | C of (int->int) //parentheses are required
So probably union-type-case-data should look like:
union-type-case-data := 
    ident --null union case
    ident of union-type-field * ... * union-type-field --n-ary union case
    ident of (uncurried-sig) --n-ary union case
