However it > was a good compromise. I think camlp4 is a very interesting system, but there are many cool things in the world, and I don't have time to get deeply into all of them. All I really care about is that there be some convenient way to do parsers built into ocaml (i.e. without lex/yacc - and yes, there are lots of times I'm willing to pay any resulting efficiency penalty). I don't know who decided that camlp4 was the way to do that, but somebody did, and so I hope that at least that much of camlp4 comes as part of the ocaml distribution. It may meet your (Daniel's) personal wishes that camlp4 be separated from ocaml, but I think that for the rest of us, it is better that it be shipped with ocaml. Good luck and good wishes to all trying to clean up the personal mess. ../Dave ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
