This only tells you that it will lookup for .cmi files and .cm{o,a} files i=
n this directory. It doesn't mean that it *loads* them.=20=20

As you can see in your transcript only re.cma is loaded when you #require r=
e and that archive doesn't have the re_posix.cmo file.=20=20

The reason why #show_module Re_posix gives you an answer is because in that=
 re directory there is the re_posix.cmi file which the toplevel sees and lo=
ads to provide you the directive result and mispelling advice. Interface fi=
les are automatically looked up but not implementations.

>From a usability perspective one could argue that ocamlfind subpackages sho=
uld install in their own subdirectory so that the kind of "strange" behavio=
ur you witnessed does not occur.

Best,
