Thus `f x y' means `(f x) y' and `x Line ""' means `(x Line) ""'. (2) parentheses don't delimit the arguments of a function or a constructor but only fix the precedence of an expression. Thus f x (y) means f x y and `x Line ("")' means `x Line ""'. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
