[Caml-list] syntax for variable arity?

[Michael Leary <leary@nwlink.com>]

I want to write a function to abstract a series of functions with different
numbers of args like these two:

let debug message = printf "Debug %s\n" message; fso
let debug_line start_angle start_radius end_angle end_radius =
  printf "DebugLine %f %f %f %f\n" start_angle start_radius end_angle end_radius;
  fso


I was thinking of:

type command =
  Debug
  | Debug_line
  | ...

let com command _ =
  match command with
  | Debug ->
      doit "some special format string" _
  | Debug_line ->
      doit "other format string" _

let doit _ = printf _ ; fso (* fso defined elsewhere *)


let () = com Debug "debug message"
...
let () = com Debug_line start_angle start_radius end_angle end_radius


I know _ matches any value(s??), but I'm not clear on how to use the
match elsewhere...  am I close?  Is there a better way to structure this?
