How come this works:

# let rec build = function 0 -> [] | n -> 1e-6 :: build (n-1);;
val build : int -> float list = <fun>
# let test = 1. :: build 1000;;
val test : float list = ...

But this does not:

# let rec build = function 0 -> [] | n -> 1e-6 :: build (n-1) in
  let test = 1. :: build 1000;;
Syntax error

Am I being stupid?

Cheers,
Jon.
