Right right, I agree that the scanf that's coming is a better solution
for O'Caml. But on the other hand, I prefer combinator parsing (even
in O'Caml where it's slightly awkward) to the stream parsers in
O'Caml. And sometimes I like to use combinator formatters rather than
printf. There's a place for both kinds of things. :)
John.
