Summary

0003823: Camlp4: manual not up-to-date wrt. polymorphic variants

Description

Hi,

appendix A in the Camlp4-manual defines quotation ctyp, where the
macro syntax of syntax tree nodes for variant type definitions is
specified as follows:

<:ctyp< [| $list:rfl$ |]

The preprocessor prints a warning that this is deprecated syntax.
After reading the Camlp4-sources, it seems that it has changed to:

<:ctyp< [= $list:rfl$ ]

Could you please update the manual accordingly? - Thanks!

It would also be nice if the meaning of values in this list (and also
in others) could be documented in the manual.

Best regards,
Markus Mottl
