Subject: [Caml-list] Can One Define LISP-like Macros in Ocaml?
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2002 13:18:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <p05111b02ba33a8d3b915@[63.74.181.9]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20021227073709.GD608@swordfish>

Seeing the LISP like output from -dlambda reminded me of a question 
I've had about ocaml.

Is there any support for defining macros in ocaml akin to LISP defmacro?
