Indeed, that's a much simpler solution! :)

But there's one minor difference: physical equality works on Weak.t but not on
functions.  But that can be handled by using a ref to a function.

module Structurally_uncomparable :
   sig
     type 'a t
     val make : 'a -> 'a t
     val get : 'a t -> 'a
   end
   =
   struct
     type 'a t = (unit -> 'a) ref
     let make x = ref (fun _ -> x)
     let get x = (!x)()
   end
