No it isn't - using internal functions is, to 1 significant figure, never what you're after. Apart from anything, you're instantly forcing your code to be 4.02+

Indeed - 4.02 has a very clever reimplementation of the printf engine.

Printf.ifprintf (you can do similar with Printf.ksprintf and Printf.ikfprintf).
I don't know what lead you to read CamlInternalFormat.mli, but the reference manual (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.02/libref/Printf.html) is a much better place to start for information on these modules than their source code.
