Dear camlers,

Out of curiosity, I'd be happy to understand why the following definition
is rejected:

# module type T = sig type 'a format end;;
module type T = sig type 'a format end
# module F(X : T with type 'a format = 'a list constraint 'a = < .. >) =
struct end;;
File "", line 1, characters
13-67:
Error: In this `with' constraint, the new definition of format does not
match its original definition in the constrained
signature:
Type declarations do not match: type 'a format = 'a0 list is not included
in type 'a
format
       Their constraints differ.

Would it be unsound to allow it?

Cheers,

ph.
