Subject: [Caml-list] Stability of order between polymorphic variants

Hello,  

I have this type 

  type weight = [ `W100 | `W200 | `W300 | `W400 | `W500 | `W600 | `W700 | `W800 | `W900 ]

In the current compiler it has the property that `Wx00 < `Wy00 if x < y. 

The question is, is the order between polymorphic variants an invariant provided by the compiler or is it subject to change ? 

Best,

Daniel
