Haoyang Wang provided the answer you're looking for, I think!

In case you are writing your own modules with infix operators, I've found
the following style to be useful:

--- Inside Vector.ml ---
(* definition of some basic functions here... *)
(* now some infix defs using the basic functions, in "Ops" submodule *)
module Ops = struct
  let ( +| ) u v = add u v
  let ( -| ) u v = sub u v
  let ( *| ) a v = scale a v
end
open Ops (* so that they are usable within Vector itself *)
---

--- Some other module without opening all of Vector ---
open Vector.Ops

let answer = a +| b
let same_answer = Vector.add a b
---

In some cases I'll also expose types in a Type submodule. This is to
minimize name-collision with record fields, but have direct access to the
fields in situations which it's appropriate (by doing "open Vector.Type",
for example).

Hope that's of some use!
