 The type $\tau_1 \doublerightarrow \tau_2$ is meant to denote functions from $\tau_1$ to $\tau_2$ (whether it denotes total or partial or computable functions, depends on particular semantics). The type $\tau_1 \doublerightarrow \tau_2$ is meant to denote functions from $\tau_1$ to $\tau_2$ (whether it denotes total or partial or computable functions, depends on particular semantics).
