I am pretty sure, it is possible to implement them with camlp4. Just a matter of time -- and motivation. The only limitation I can see, is that the generated constructors won't be capitalized. E.g.: type t = MyConstr | YourConstr of int => type t = MyConstr | YourConstr of int let myConstr = MyConstr let yourConstr i = YouConstr i Regards, Sylvain Le Gall _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
