But you have to recognize that non of these solution is as elegant as the
haskel way of doing it, isn't ti ?

maybe this would be nice :

val mul : int -> int -> int
let mul x y = ...

Sure, i know the right way is to put the declaration of mul in a separate
file, but still, it would be nice to be able to do it in one file only.
