Subject: Re: Undefined evaluation order

It seems to me that a program making use of evaluation order in function
or constructor application is wrong !

It seems easy to me to add some marking in the type system to detect 
expression with side effects ... then one could have a warning (or even
an error :-) when some code depends on evaluation order and then, in
this case only, force left to right evaluation order.

I am sure I would find some bugs in my programs with such a warning :-)

What do think the OCaml's developpers about this ?

Note: the problem of List.map is different and the library should
specify an evaluation order (there could be even two versions of
List.map and List.iter)
