If you're willing to explicitly name the things you wish to import then this doesn't seem to be a hard problem to solve: let mod = Int.mod let of_char = Int.of_char let to_char = Int.tochar Or even, in 3.12, let mod, of_char, to_char = Int.(mod, of_char, to_char) _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
