I think that's the kind of tool that would entice me
to use .mli files.

How does this tool would know that some types from the .ml
file are not to be exported in the .mli?

Also, this tool should probably be able to update a .mli file,
detect that a .mli file needs to be updated and maybe other things.

It gives me the impression that with such a tool
people would no more need to maintain both a .ml
and a .mli file. I like the "centralization" of it.

F.
