Technically, the ocamlc and ocamlopt compilers share a common
front end that performs the specialization (on the so-called
typed syntax, if I remember well).

By design, both compilers have a lot common.

Only the ocamlopt compiler performs inlining, on a later
internal representation of code.

As to re-performing specialisation in ocamlopt back-end,
precise types are lost there, I am afraid. This may be by design.
