It's for OCaml 3.10, as mentioned, and while I look forward to it, the fact that it is still a second class tool (compare to ocamldoc, ocamldebug, or even ocamllex/ocamlyacc) causes me to view it a bit suspiciously. By "second class" I don't mean to impugn the quality of the tool here. OCaml is not mainstream, and I'm reluctant to make it even less so where I work by using an alternative syntax enabled by a second class tool. -- Brian
