It makes sense to me that such a signature item in a .ml file should be
restricted to being immediately before the value binding it applies to.
i.e.
val foo : 'a -> 'a
let foo x = x
would be legal, while the following would not be allowed:
val foo: 'a -> 'a
val bar: int -> string
let foo x = x
let bar = string_of_int
This should solve the "skim through the whole ml file" problem.
