[Caml-list] Polymorphic calls to C

[Caml-list] Polymorphic calls to C

[Jon Harrop]

Any recommendations on how to call C with polymorphic arguments from ocaml so 
that C can call ocaml functions back with the given data?

I figure I need to wrap the whole thing in a functor which will make the 
interface types explicit, i.e. specialise the 'a.

Cheers,
Jon.

The C function should just receive and store the "value", without
looking into it in any way, and pass it through to the callback.
