Actually, I think in a way Phebe's solution may be *more* accurate than
Raymond's.  In this question, all "types" are of the form

int^k -->(S) int

Hence using

t -->(S) t'

doesn't really gain you anything; indeed, it suggests that t might be
something other than int^k and t' might be something other than int, which
it can't.  Although I suspect in practice both solutions would get the same
marks.
