Not sure whether you are still looking for a solution to this but, as
it was not possible to use theses constructions together with pa_do
(same grammar rule to modify), I added hooks so you can provide your
own functions for them.  E.g.,

val module_square_brackets : (module_longident -> Loc.t -> expr -> expr) ref

allows you to replace [M.[ e ]] by [!module_square_brackets m _loc e]
where [m] is the internal representation of [M] and [_loc] is the
location of the whole expression [M.[ e ]].

This is available in the last version of delimited overloading
(downloadable at http://pa-do.forge.ocamlcore.org/ ).

Hope it helps,
