For example: Although the standard library is quite ok, there are some (minor) inconsistencies. What concerns my wishes for it, I'd love to see more features (= functions or even modules). At the moment I am not always linking against the standard library, but I use own modules, which I have extended a bit, because I need some important features all of the time (e.g. why is there no "partition"-function in the set-module?). What do you think about this proposal: why not put a version of the standard library on the CVS-server of INRIA, where volunteers can contribute extensions, replacements, new modules, etc.? >From time to time, the maintainers of OCaml might want to take a look at the diffs to the original library and merge some (all?) of the goodies into the main branch. I can imagine that you have a lot of patches which are just waiting to be uploaded... Best regards, Markus Mottl -- Markus Mottl, mottl@miss.wu-wien.ac.at, http://miss.wu-wien.ac.at/~mottl
