I have the following simple module that I'm converting to typed/racket. I got a type check error that I don't know how to fix. More specifically, it's related to the polymorphic function dynamic-wind's arguments. I read from document [1] that type inference doesn't work for a lambda that is an argument to a polymorphic function. But since here the three arguments are all thunks (without input argument), I don't know how to properly annotate them.
Note that I tried to even annotate the first argument: (λ () (ann #f AnyValues)) And the type checker complained: Argument 1: Expected: (-> AnyValues) Given: (-> AnyValues) which is really weird.
