Well the problem was that I wanted to do this:

    class lexstack top_filename 
        object
            val mutable filename = top_filename
            val mutable chan = open_in top_filename
            val lexbuf = Lexing.from_channel chan

Oops, error message right there ^^^^^^ trying to use instance
variable chan.

Not part of my requirements so I'll skip that :-).
