Hi,


If I understand this correctly, then the support for a particular syntactic extension need to be hardwired into merlin?


Isn't that strange?


(compared to tools such as:


	- ocamlc

	- ocamlopt

	- ocamldep

	- ocamldoc


 which need not to be sperately modified to support any new (valid) syntactic extension. Do they?

)


Why is merlin different in this respect?
