Constructed types

[Chris Keane <Chris.Keane@comlab.ox.ac.uk>]

If this works as it should:

  >         Objective Caml version 2.00
  >
  > # type foo =
  >     Bar of int * int;;
  > type foo = | Bar of int * int
  > # let myfun x =
  >     let (m,n) = if x = 0 then (0,0) else (1,1) in
  >       Bar (m,n);;
  > val myfun : int -> foo = <fun>

then why doesn't this?

  > # let myfun2 x =
  >     let m = if x = 0 then (0,0) else (1,1) in
  >       Bar m;;
  > The constructor Bar expects 2 argument(s),
  > but is here applied to 1 argument(s)

or even this?

  > # let myfun3 x =
  >     Bar (if x = 0 then (0,0) else (1,1));;
  > The constructor Bar expects 2 argument(s),
  > but is here applied to 1 argument(s)

Thanks,
Chris.
