I second that.  

By the way there's one big issue for me, in my whole code base I strictly stick to 80 columns and use the other acceptable convention mentioned here [1]. This means that I do not indent the top most cases so that you don't run into the 80 character limit too quickly.  

Here's what I mean:

let f = function
| A -> ...
| B -> ...

let f x = match x with
| A -> ...
| B -> ...

From a readability point of view I find that indenting the cases at that point is useless, wasteful and detrimental to code compactness. Is there any way to emulate that with ocp-indent (setting base to 0 breaks too many other patterns) ?  

Best,

Daniel
