It does not clearly explain how to handle variant types in C code.  
Maybe I'm dumb but I did not understand it.

It looks like you are using polymorphic variants in new syntax. Maybe  
I'm wrong but it doesn't work for me

# type foo = [Null | Int of int];;
Syntax error

I still don't understand how I can handle regular variants of the  
following type returned by OCaml to the C side
