In the documentation in mentions that String is just an alias for [Char],
but it doesn't seem to let me use any list functions on a string.
For example, attempting "dropWhile" fails with:
links> dropWhile(fun(x){x=='h'}, "hello");
<stdin>:1: Type error: The function
`dropWhile'
has type
`((Char) ~a~> Bool, [Char]) ~a~> [Char]'
while the arguments passed to it have types
`(Char) ~> Bool'
and
`String'
and the currently allowed effects are
`wild|_'.
In expression: dropWhile(fun(x){x=='h'}, "hello").
Using yesterday's SVN build on OCaml 3.12.0.
