Re: [Caml-list] Making a polymorphic type non-polymorphic to comply with original signature

[David Teller <David.Teller@univ-orleans.fr>]

It's probably feasible without copy & paste by building a functor on top
of the defunctorized hashtable in Batteries. Or by just using the
defunctorized hashtable of Batteries directly, although it's not as safe
as the functorized version, due to the absence of existential types.

Cheers,
 David
