Re: [Caml-list] ANN: should.ml, literate assertions for OCaml

[Oliver Bandel <oliver@first.in-berlin.de>]

I think, the example looks very nice. :-)

Above IMHO would be ">"
">=" might be # equal # or # above... if the language allows it...
Or, when looking at the example, there is at-most...
...if english language allows, possibly at-least would be ok.
(But mothertongue english speakers might disagree.)

Ciao,
