[Caml-list] type inference with classes

Hi!

I've mentioned that in some cases ocaml can't infer type (or maybe it can,
but didn't want to...) of some objects.
Right to this moment, I've just do as ocaml wants - annotate a type and
move forward. But now I want to make things more consciously. The reason is
simple - sometimes ocaml infers types correctly and denotes a type error in
my code, but I, mistakenly thinking that it can't infer type of object,
loose my time in useless type annotating of different identifiers. Or vice
versa, the code is correct, except for some undecidable object type, and I
spend h^Wminutes in checking my code for errors.

So, I'would like to know the rules of type inference failures with object
types. In what cases an object type can and must be inferred, and in what
it must be annotated explicitly?

Can someone share this arcane knowledge or, at least, point me at some
sources, explaining this issue?

Thanks everybody in advance!
