OK , I was tired,forgive the question. the answer is obvious if for
example I remember that types
are not first class values and that a module may (and often) contains
types.

|Hello list,
|
|My non-important question is "why a module is not a first class
|value? while objects are."
| I was playing with modules and objects, and I found funny that it's
|possible to simulate the constructor new, just by using a functor
|taking an empty module.
|
|module Void = struct end
|module type Unit = sig end
|
|module Build(M:Unit) = struct
| let r = ref 0
| let get () = !r
| let put i = r :=i
|end
|
|module type CONS = sig val get: unit -> int end
|module type PROD = sig val put: int -> unit end
|
|module Foo = Build(Void)
|module Bar = Build(Void)
|module FooC= (Foo:CONS)
|module FooP= (Foo:PROD)
|
|What remains impossible is:
| let lm = [FooP;FooC] impossible
|
|While with objects:
|class build = object
|val mutable r = 0
|method get = r
|method put i = r <- i
|end
|
|let foo = new build
|let bar = new build
|
|class virtual cons = object
| method virtual get : int
|end
|class virtual prod = object
| method virtual put : int -> unit
|end
|let fooc = (foo :> cons)
|let foop = (foo :> prod)
|
| let lo = [foo;bar]
|
|Is correct.
|
