Ah .. i seem to recall a discussion on this on comp.lang.functional now? Regarding partial specialisation where some type vars are specialised and some not? BTW: the notion of 'separate compilation' is pretty fuzzy these days I think. For example one could argue that it means 'avoiding recompilation of common parts of multiple programs' and in this sense C and C++ don't have separate compilation :) -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
