Hello Charles,
You can write:
foo.ml:
type ('a, 'b, 'c) internal_t = { ... }
type ('a, 'c) t = ('a, <some type>, 'c) internal_t
foo.mli:
type ('a, 'c) t
So ``hiding the polymorphism in 'b'' can be done, but you have to tell
the compiler which internal type should be used instead of 'b, i.e. you
have to choose <some type>. I guess the unit type will do in most
situations.
Hope this helps,
