Please tell me it's not so!
I found the documentation from 1992 here: ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/publication/publi-pdf/RT/RT-0141.pdf Not quite the same location listed in Ch 22 of the ref manual, but not too far off, either. It seems that what I observed is indeed the documented behavior of the Nat module. The Big_int and Num modules hide that nastiness away. -- Jim Pryor prof...@jimpryor.net _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
