Yes, this all looks very nice, and even will be usefull for me, but i ask: Why it isn't built in? I mean: is there any reason (performance propably) for treating some constructinons diffrently. There is global "let ident = expr " and local "let ident = expr in" There is global "type ident = typedef" and no local pair. Local modules are fine, but they are not so user friendly. -- Lukasz Lew ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
