Look at this. I'm even more confused:

----------------
[rgrig@radugrigore temp]$ ocaml
        Objective Caml version 3.07+2

# #load "camlp4r.cma";;
        Camlp4 Parsing version 3.07+2

# let rec b = function 0 -> [] | n -> 2. :: b (n - 1) in let t = 1. :: b 2;;
Toplevel input:
# let rec b = function 0 -> [] | n -> 2. :: b (n - 1) in let t = 1. :: b 2;;
                         ^^
Parse error: 'and' or 'in' expected (in [expr])
# exit 0;;
Toplevel input:
# exit 0;;
        ^^
Parse error: ';' expected after [str_item] (in [phrase])
