Hi everybody,

 

Typically, when you declare:

 

type card =
  | Card of int
  | Jack
  | Queen
  | King
  | Ace
  ;;

 

The relation you wish is:

 

Card(2) < ...< Card(10) < Jack < Queen < King < Ace

 

And that's what you get when using F#.

 

However when using OCaml here is what you get:

 

Jack < Queen < King < Ace < Card(2) < ...< Card(10)

 

And the work-around is:

 

type card =
  | Card of int
  | Jack of unit
  | Queen of unit
  | King of unit
  | Ace of unit
  ;;

 

Is this a bug or a feature ?
Will it change in a foreseable future ?
