I'm not intending the method to be polymorphic.
op is simply a method which takes a Bigarray.Array2 type as an argument.

So it would seem that declaring the argument explicitly should solve
the problem.

Here you are making the argument and return types consistent.
I believe that my problem is different.

It doesn't help that I don't understand what the problem is...
