This question has popped up in the past, but it's not an easy thing to do due to issues with the runtime: http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200108/msg00026.html Any news in this respect? A toplevel that could run a high-performance, OCaml-native code string matching engine would give a terrific scripting environment!
