Re: [Caml-list] Coccinelle and the Dumper module

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

This "dump" code has lived on in Extlib (to which Richard
participated, I believe), and is also part of Batteries. I know that
ygrek, Extlib's current maintainers, has done some fixes to it (I
think we ported them into Batteries), so you may want to look there.
