I will file it as a bug but why do I need case-lambda: ?
I thought I would need it only if I didn't annotate the type of foo
function. But I do annotate it with
 (: foo (case-lambda [-> Symbol]
                    [Symbol -> Symbol]))

the type of s is defined to be a symbol there... in the second line by
saying, Symbol -> Symbol, right?
