Does it make code unsharable or can you apply multiple camlp4 macros to one
piece of code?

Camlp4 may be the best we have. I can't wait to see the next generation...
Playing with Haskell and F# has opened my eyes a bit. F#'s operator
overloading and active patterns will make my code much nicer. Being lazier
can simplify things until you have to optimise, in which case it suddenly
becomes really complicated and error prone.
