You need a parser for the printed representation of your type. There are
many sources of information on parsing in OCaml, for example:
https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/parsing-with-ocamllex-and-menhir.html,
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/html/book-ora103.html; if you
have a copy of "The Functional Approach To Programming" parsing is covered
there also.  As a shortcut, you _may_ be able to use sexp-lib to
automagically create a parser for you; sexp-lib is covered in
https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/data-serialization-with-s-expressions.html
.
