Subject: [Caml-list] question: restrictions on `let rec`

Hi all,
I have a question simplified as below:
let rec fib = fun x -> fib (x - 1);;
val fib : int -> 'a = <fun>
# let rec fib = (Obj.magic (fun x -> fib (x - 1)) : int -> 'a);;
Characters 15-47:
let rec fib = (Obj.magic (fun x -> fib (x - 1)) : int -> 'a);;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error: This kind of expression is not allowed as right-hand side of `let rec'
I know `fib` is a legal expression, is there any way to work around it?
Thanks -- Hongbo
