Thank you for your answers.
I am actually in the case of a webserver where I need to avoid interrupting
it, even in 'exceptional' cases, but rather report the problem in a log,
and return a default value whenever it is possible. Options seem to be the
best choice, not only from a safety point of vi

Ah, yeah. That was an alternative I was considering, though I wasn't sure
how to get the size of nativeint -- now I see: sizeof(value)! :)
Still not the ideal, but probably a little nicer than using 'hash' to
reveal abstracted values. ;)

That post is against maybe (aka option) as an error type as it looses
information about the error. If you use an Either type such as Core's
Result.t that argument is invalidated.
In fact at Jane Street we try avoid the use of exceptions as they don't
