Si, mais ca gene ceux d'entre nous qui aiment documenter leur
programme en nommant les feuilles des motifs, et par exemple preferent
ecrire

        map (fun (key, data) -> data) the_a_list

plutot que

        map (fun (_, data) -> data) the_a_list

Quant a la remarque de Christophe Raffalli:

Ce n'est pas un bug lorsqu'on veut faire de la "finalisation":

        try ... with exc -> finalize(); raise exc

C'est meme de l'excellent style. Par exemple:

        let oc = open_out "foo" in
        try
          ...;
          close_out oc
        with exc ->
          close_out oc;
          sys__remove "foo";
          raise exc
