Hi Shayne,

One approach is to name the *output* signature of the functors:

module type EQ_PROD_S = sig
    module X : EQ
    module Y : EQ
    type t = X.t * Y.t
    val eq: t * t -> bool
end

module type EQ_PROD = functor (X : EQ) (Y : EQ) ->
    EQ_PROD_S with module X := X and module Y := Y

module type ORD_PROD_S = sig
    include EQ_PROD_S
    val lt : t * t -> bool
end

module type LT_PROD = functor (X : EQ) (Y : EQ) ->
    LT_PROD_S with module X := X and module Y := Y

etc.

Cheers,
Nicolas
