Subject: Re: [Caml-list] how to convert strings to Ocaml values at run-time?

Hm, imagine that the expected type is:

	'a * 'a -> bool

Now, if user provides a string, say:

	"fun (a,b) -> a = b"

how can I convert that string to Ocaml value of the above type (like how toplevel does it)?

Is this something ocaml_plugin is able to do for me? I've failed to figure out the trick.
