I think, it don't has macros, but Daniel de Rauglaudre would give a
more accurate answer.

BTW camlp4 provides a simple macro system through a dynamic syntax
extension. It features DEFINE, IFDEF, INDEF, and INCLUDE.

However camlp4 is itself a powerful way to manage the OCaml syntax as
AST through it's quotation system.

Have you a simple specification of what you want for OCaml (or some examples).
