I was trying use the type constructor (expr->), wanting it to have kind type -> type, but this of course does not work.

Instead I am forced to write the eta-expanded version (fun A => expr->A). This strikes me as potentially akward. It seem that Coq ought to define -> to have kind type -> type -> type, and/or implement eta-equivalence.
