I would do this slightly differently. The 'most important'
keywords are used in binders which often denote something
part of an interface: These are (roughly):

type, let, module, class, and, in, rec, val, exception
external functor

and these should be in a heavy font. Flow control is an implementation
detail and should be lighter weight. inherit, include, and open are
"directives", perhaps a weak color (boring houskeeping ..)
