In some languages (most notably Haskell and Miranda) it is possible
to define a function that enjoys polymorphic recursion, i.e., the
types of its recursive calls may be instances of the type scheme at
which the function is defined.

For example:

let rec f x =
  let q = f true in
  let r = f 0 in
  x;;

is rejected by OCaml, but it is accepted by Haskell by saying

f :: a -> a
f x = let q = f True in
      let r = f 0 in
      x

Question:

Can you do the same in OCaml? I am aware of the tricks mentioned in
the FAQ, but I would like to know if there is a cleaner way to do it,
for example by providing a type signature.
