Hello Martin,

Apparently, such tricks are used for speed reasons. Why not provide two 
ways to generate code: one safe using only regular OCaml and one using 
Obj tricks. That way, your users could check in case they have an issue 
and fall-back to safer code until a proper fix is found.

Nonetheless, I still do think that having correct code is more important 
that having fast one, whatever is the speed ratio between the two.

Best regards,
david
