Many of the workarounds are probably OK for a few uses, but they don't really scale. With a 'fat' module, we get the simplest, cleanest, code, even if the module is rather large: interfaces are only useful if they help reduce complexity. The most scalable solution I found was to use classes to 'clump' related functions together, allowing a set of functions to be passed as a single argument (a class object). This also allowed some state to be put in the object instead of using a functional closure. -- John (Max) Skaller, mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au 10/1 Toxteth Rd Glebe NSW 2037 Australia voice: 61-2-9660-0850 checkout Vyper http://Vyper.sourceforge.net download Interscript http://Interscript.sourceforge.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
