This nails it. I can't believe how many "eat your spinach" replies there 
have been to this question. There is no reason whatever to waste your time 
figuring out how to use campl4 (post-3.10) when there is a well documented 
and widely used alternative. camlp5 may not be the "official" INRIA-blessed 
standard, but it has a significant community behind it and is actively 
maintained.
