And, as I think you're implying, polymorphic recursion. 

In Okasaki's PFDS book, he describes the techniques you'd use to convert 
non-uniform types to uniform ones and rewriting the functions. Has anyone 
played with the idea of automating these transformations, so that a MLTON like 
monomorphizing compiler could work for a language with non uniform recursion? 

No, I'm not suggesting that for OCaml. I agree that the OCaml implementation is 
at some sweet spot where it isn't too complex, is very efficient, compiles 
quickly, etc.
