syntax changes from 3.08 to 3.10

[Sebastien Ferre <ferre@irisa.fr>]

Hi,

moving my application from OCaml 3.08 to 3.10,
I encountered 2 syntax problems, i.e. syntax errors
when compiling:

1. record copy and modification:

   {f x with y = 1; z = 2}

this can be solved by parenthesizing the
evaluation of the record to be copied.

   {(f x) with y = 1; z = 2}

2. object copy and modification in a method:

   {< x = 1; y = 2>}

   OCaml says the first field is a bool instead of an int,
   which leads me to think it parenthesizes in the following way:

   {< x = (1; y = 2)>}

   In fact, this behaviour is only when compiling with camlp4o:

   ocamlc -pp ocamlp4o ...

   The work-around I found to implement a copy method is as follows:

   class c =
     object (self)
       val x = 0
       val y = 0

       method copy = (Oo.copy self) # copy_aux
       method private copy_aux = x <- 1; y <- 2; self
     end


Has anybody encountered the same problem ? Is there a better workaround 
? Is it a bug ?
