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.
