So, do we need to forget about any commercial usage of OCaml ?
In fact, commercial usage needs real "closed-source" libraries where only
bytecode files are distributed. Such libraries should be able to evolve , by
adding new functions into the interface, and to be loaded with signature
checking at run-time. Does the OCaml team don't plan at all to add such
feature ?
