Folks,

I see this in the LexiFI presentation:

# let t1 = 2002-12-20T16:00 (* ISO 8601 notation *) ;;
val t1 : date = 2002-12-20T16:00:00

What type of a value is 2002-12-20T16:00 and how does it get  
translated into a date?

	Thanks, Joel

This kind of value does not exist in ocaml. From <http:// 
www.lexifi.com/resources.html> :

> MLFi is implemented as an extension of Caml

So they must use some kind of pre-processor, most likely camlp4 [1].

Best,

Daniel

I guess my question is how can you make camlp4 recognize the below as  
the date type?

	Thanks, Joel
