Hi,
Am I right that in Caml/O'Caml, exceptions and open statements
always occur at top-level (by top-level I mean not in a let .. in
block)? What I mean is: in SML one can say
let open List
exception LocalExc of string in
(* in here List is open and I can use LocalExc *)
There doesn't seem to be any equivalent in Caml. Just checking if I'm
missing something. I realize that the scope of "open" and exception
can be limited to a structure, but I was looking for an even smaller
scope. Thanks.
Adam
