[order of evaluation problem]

	Actually, I think that the problem is that the
Ocaml syntax is basically designed for a referentially
transparent functional programming language, which
Ocaml is not. 

	If you have a function with side-effects,
return 'unit'. At worst:

	f ( g () ) 

which is equivalent to

	g(); f()

[Ugh: Felix has a type 'void' to prevent this]
