It depends what you mean by "with camlp4", but I suppose you mean
"what is the revised syntax for polymorphic variants ?".

> <:str_item< type a = A >> is ok, but <:str_item< type a = [ `A ] >>

<:str_item< type a = A >> is not really ok neither

try <:str_item< type a = A | B >> to see that's not ok, the grammar
just accept it as an alias.

The syntax for classic variants is <:str_item< type a = [ A | B of int
and int | C of (int * int) ] >>

For polymorphic ones it's <:str_item< type a = [ = A | B ] >>

> doesn't work as expected...

Yes but you expected the original syntax for types declaration.
