Could you elaborate a bit on this ?
It seems me that monads only provide (in this particular case) a
limited syntaxic sugar. Are they really an improvement ? If you've got
some example of monadic AST-building, i'd be interested.
Couldn't the pa_monad extension achieve the same job ? The more
general (and heavyweight) solution would be to build a full DSL using
camlp4, but i'm not sure of what you can win with a dedicated syntax.
