[Caml-list] Parser/lexer for block indented code

Would anyone happen to have lying around parser/lexer for block indented code (a la Python and Haskell)? I am using ocamlyacc or menhir, whichever. It seems to be the best way to do deal with this is to put a filter between lexer and parser that inserts appropriate hints. I would like to avoid rei
