So could you give a short example? E.g. the merge sort from the book.
You're right: OCaml's syntax differs enough from the text that it's annoying to cut-n-paste the examples. Fortunately most example are a few lines of code, so I didn't realize how difficult it could be on a larger example (like the merge sort example.)
Attached is my translation of the mergeSort from the book. You get to play with it and see if it works :)
