Merlin solves the harder problem of incremental type-checking: if you make a small modification to your code buffer, it will compute the difference between the previous and the current state and try to only re-{parse,typecheck} this. This approach is elegant and, in the long run, necessary to guarantee the fluidity necessary for interactive usage (although in practice compilation is fast enough that you might be able to make do with a batch re-checking fallback in many scenarios). Currently Merlin breaks the abstraction of the OCaml parser and type-checker, to turns them into incremental-aware tools; but Merlin authors are trying to get their changes upstream as much as possible. This also means that the world of supported syntaxes is closed, it cannot be extended with arbitrary syntax extensions if they were designed to support batch preprocessing only, with no interface to use them incrementally. (But merlin authors have implemented support for some common extensions in their incremental parser.)
