I thought about that but I wanted to avoid the need to go through  
constructors functions (or values à la bigarray). Maybe I'll simply  
statically check a little less. It's a tradeoff.

This won't work because, as I said, I use 'a to express static  
constraints about the value stored in the constructors therefore 'a  
must be [`U1] whenever a `B is constructed and this is not enforced  
by this definition. Having more parameters is not an option either.

Thanks to both of you for your input.
