Re: [Caml-list] pattern matching on integer intervals

[Gabriel Scherer <gabriel.scherer@gmail.com>]

I believe your best bet is the 'if .. then .. else' chain. You may
also use 'when' clauses in pattern matching, but those don't scale too
well and are best avoided if their are the only content of your
content: pattern matching are good for structural deconstruction and
environment binding, but can be confusing and useless when you are
using none of those aspects.
