X-Spam: no; 0.00; exn:01 unbound:01 exception:01 variant:02 variant:02 parameter:02 fischer:10 fischer:10 error:12 robert:13 robert:13 type:14 type:14 result:17 possible:17 

Is it possible to do a variant type along the lines of "type try = Result of 'a | Exception of exn"?
   When I try that, I get an error saying "Unbound type parameter 'a".
