What about importing algebraic types with its constructors or record
types with its field names, without repeating the type definition? Would
that be possible?

For instance, I want to import the record type

  type position = {
       pos_fname :string;
       pos_lnum :int;
       pos_bol :int;
       pos_cnum :int;
  }

from the Lexing module.
