Not AFAIK. However, I'd be willing to give any code in MissingLib to
INRIA and let them use it under the OCaml copyright for the purposes of
putting it into the standard library. MissingLib is designed to "play
nicely" with the standard library. As an example, Extlib uses their
Enum type to handle a lot of things. MissingLib uses a standard
Stream. Less featureful but more compatible with different things. So
it should be easy to integrate if anyone is interested.
The feeling I got from some at INRIA, though, was that they are not
really interested in expanding the standard library too much for
various reasons.

Both should be fairly easy to accomplish, actually. If you send me a
patch, I'd be happy to add it to MissingLib :-)
