You know... I have found myself on several occasions wishing for
something like that. A nitpick: I think I'd be happier with "type
rec" as opposed to "rec type" since that seems symmetrical with the
"let rec" phrasing. Yes, I would expect "type rec a = ... and b
= ... and c = ..." to allow all three types to be recursive.
