But we don't agree with each other on what a good syntax should be, and even not which small changes could be done. We had many arguments some years ago about that, we did not improve anything (except, maybe, the uppercase constructors), all discussions ended with "this is just syntax" (insinuation: what is important is semantics). I gave up, but if you want to speak about that, and propose things, please do. -- Daniel de RAUGLAUDRE daniel.de_rauglaudre@inria.fr http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/ ------------------- 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
