Some old K&R C compilers also need unique struct fields id. (That's probably
why the Un*x struct fields have unique prefixes).
This unique struct field id. in caml allows to easily guess a struct's type
in a pattern-matching; I'll write about GCaml without having read related
papers nor compiler sources, but wouldn't it be possible, with GCaml type
engine, to introduce the required polymorphism in non-unique struct field
name pattern matching?
