No, it was a true answer, I'm not interesting in having changes introduced in ocaml that break features that are useful to me *every* day. Namely the ability of compilation-mode to precisely hilight the span of an error in my source, without having to tweak my .emacs. (That's said I'd have nothing against an implementation of gnu's standard).

I still don't understand your issue here. For me everything works pefectly out of the box, character ranges included (or maybe I never fell on a specific case ?).

Yes, that's also what I do.

Best,
