What is the difference between 'a and ''a in SML?

Viewed 4206

For example:

fun example (a:'a list) : list = a

will have a signatures of:

'a list -> 'a list 

What if I define it differently but with same content like

fun example (a : ''a list) : list = a

its signature will be:

''a list -> ''a list

What's the difference?
