[racket-dev] parse errors in types, poly-dots cause me headaches

In terms of bugs, it’s probably related to this problem with call-with-values and poly-dots:
#lang typed/racket
(: f : (All (a ...) [(-> (values Any ... a)) -> Void]))
(define (f g)
  (call-with-values g void))
;=>
. . ../../Applications/Racket v6.1.1/share/pkgs/typed-racket-lib/typed-racket/typecheck/tc-app/tc-app-values.rkt:22:4: match: no matching clause for (tc-results '() (cons Any 'a))
