Subject: [Caml-list] unreasonable syntax error

Hi,
compiling this piece of code gives an unreasonable syntax error:
let a = [|0|] in
a.(0) <-
if true then (), else ()
The ',' before the "else" is of course wrong.
But the error explanation is kind of misleading:
File "test.ml", line 3, characters 21-25:
Error: Syntax error: ')' expected
File "test.ml", line 2, characters 4-5:
Error: This '(' might be unmatched
Christopher
