The prototype top-level is almost two years old. It's only for playing in the
top level, you can't use the module system. Still, it's pretty cool. Having
all of those features in a future Caml will be a major leap for ML. It doesn't
just satisfy the simple desire for overloading + and print and all that, but
allows you to write some pretty wild functions in a type safe manner!

I suspect so, since safe value IO is a very high priority, and my understanding
is that once that is in that generics is not a huge addition.
The big question is: when? I guess we'll know when it happens. This is one of
my most desired language enhancements too.

Not that I know of.
