While we are on the topic...
A lot of the C functions/macros have different names in the manual.
For example, the Bigarray allocation functions are called
"alloc_bigarray" and "alloc_bigarray_dims" in the manual
(http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual043.html) but are
actually "caml_ba_alloc" and "caml_ba_alloc_dims". I've noticed a
couple other discrepancies (I think they all dealt with allocations,
actually).

Names without caml_ prefix are "old" ones. They are equal to prefixed
names until CAML_NAME_SPACE macro is defined:
#define alloc_bigarray caml_ba_alloc
#define alloc_bigarray_dims caml_ba_alloc_dims
For more details see caml/compatibility.h
