A question to All concerned, especially to the language creators. As I
understood the notion of 'eagerness', the first line should evaluate
immediately (, flush stdout) and return () (or whatever does 'flush'
return). In the subsequent functions this value would be reevaluated to
itself, returned and discarded. No more flushes to stdout should appear
at these. Right? Is there just a misprint, so that the correct
definition should read:
let fso () = flush stdout?
