I'm not much of an OCaml expert, but I suspect that what you are trying to do is not possible. Imagine that you had defined such a function, and want to call it like this: > myFunctionCall f l What would be the type of f? It depends on l: If l is [], f has type 'a If l is [1], f has type int -> 'a If l is [1; 2], f has type int -> int -> 'a etc. I don't think OCaml can properly type a function like you are describing.
