Hi

Is generic programming possible with O'Caml? Suppose I want to find the 
Pearson correlation between two sets of real numbers represented as sets, 
arrays, big_arrays, maps, stacks, queues or lists. Is it possible to have one 
piece of code that handles all of these containers, a generic function of 
some sort? (Iteration is all that is necessary in the Pearson correlation 
example)

Thanks
Oleg
