What does complete type inference mean ?  I would say that it implies
that no type annotation is mandatory (if a program typechecks with a type
annotation, it should also typecheck without). This property does not hold
in OCaml; you can't remove type annotation in:

class o = object method f (x : int) = x end

or in the toplevel structure:

let f () : [`A] = `A
let x = f ()
