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? /mattias (* let _ = mover [p;q] This expression has type p1d_1 = < move : int -> unit > but is here used with type p1d_2 = < move : int -> unit; only_here : int -> int > Only the second object type has a method only_here *) class p1d_1 = object val mutable x = 0 method move d = x <- x + d end class p1d_2 = object val mutable x = 0 method move d = x <- x + d method only_here x = x + x end let main x = x#move 3 let q = new p1d_1 let p = new p1d_2 let _ = main q let _ = main p let mover l = List.iter (fun x -> x#move 10) l (* let _ = mover [p;q] *) (* class p1d_1 : object val mutable x : int method move : int -> unit end class p1d_2 : object val mutable x : int method move : int -> unit method only_here : int -> int end val main : < move : int -> 'a; .. > -> 'a = <fun> val q : p1d_1 = <obj> val p : p1d_2 = <obj> val mover : < move : int -> unit; .. > list -> unit = <fun> *)
