So far I have stayed away from the camlp4 revised syntax, its just not as appealing to me. I tend to think of the standard ocaml syntax as somewhat clean and the p4 modifications as somewhat kludgey.

As long as the core ocaml language isn't going to migrate to it I don't see the point. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
