Changes are listed here
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-3.12/notes/Changes (they go
back well before 3.00).
Changes breaking backward compatibility are marked with a '*' (as
explained in the document). There is mention of NaN handling and
exceptions in invalid accesses for strings and arrays.
