> The “num" arbitrary precision library is part of the OCaml distribution and is linked as nums.cm(x)a. - note the trailing “s”. I noticed that the corresponding package for ocamlfind is called “num” - without the trailing “s”, and that the documentation also refers to the library as “num” but not “nums”. Is there a reason for this? I tripped over it when switching to/from ocamlfind.
In the source tree it is in otherlibs/num. The README file there calls
it libnum. It was me who called it num in findlib, but I do not remember
exactly why (years ago). Maybe I just picked one of the several names
without thinking too much about it.
