Yes, because

    twice f = (f (), f ())

can distinguish them.

It is a bit difficult for me to derive the semantics of f and f' after
a brief look at the denotational semantics. From Figure 3 I guess they
are something like this (possibly eliding partial values):

    |[ f ]| = {\_ -> {0}, \_ -> {1}}
    |[ f' ]| = {\_ -> {0,1}}

Is this correct?
