#777: Typos in user guide example

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
In section "7.4.1.3 Liberalised type synonyms" of the user guide i find
the following example:

type Discard a = forall b. Show b => a -> b -> (a, String)

f :: Discard a
f x y = (x, show y)

g :: Discard Int -> (Int,Bool) -- A rank-2 type
g f = f Int True


It seems like that Bool should be String.. and that Int should be an
actual number?
I am new to haskell.. so I might just be missing something here..
