I should add, using:

  val add_even_even : [> `Even ] t -> [> `Even ] t -> [> `Even ] t
  val add_even_odd : [> `Even ] t -> [> `Odd ] t -> [> `Odd ] t

allows:

# PhantomInt.add_even_odd i j;;
val k : _[> `Odd ] PhantomInt.t = <abstr>

which can then be misused:

# PhantomInt.add_even_even i k;;
- : [ `Even ] PhantomInt.t = <abstr>

I think this is because [> `Even] means any superset of [ `Even ] whereas [< 
`Even], which was probably intended, means any subset of [ `Even ]. Indeed, 
the latter appears to work.

Cheers,
Jon.
