In the example below I have two separate classes with no common
super class. Both classes have a method 'move'.
I have no problem using the function main below that can an
arbitrary 'objects with move defined'. However, when I try to
expand the example to list of objects with move defined, I
cannot use this function.
How can I use the function 'mover'? How do I coerce to
objects with move defined?

let _ = mover [p;q]
This expression has type p1d_1 = < move : int -> unit >
but is here used with type

Only the second object type has a method only_here
