I think you misunderstoud the problem I was mentionning. A string
library should be one module, we agree. Let's say it is "String". Then
as soon as you use one function of the String module, the resulting
binary will hold _all_ the code in the String module. If you have a lot
of functions in the module (and this is what we want), you have a huge
binary. Berk.
As far as I know, there is no hack to avoid it. It would be necessary to
rethink the format of the .cmo or .cma files to allow that.
