Looking at Martin's json code I find this example of tuple conversion  
in the old syntax:

       | Tuple l ->
           let tl = List.map convert l in
           <:ctyp< ( $list:tl$ ) >>

In the new syntax the same code becomes something much larger:

       | Tuple l ->
           (* (* Development version post-3.10.0+beta: *)
              let tl = List.map convert l in
              <:ctyp< ( $tup:Ast.tySta_of_list tl$ ) >> *)
           let t =
             List.fold_right
               (fun x tup -> <:ctyp< $convert x$ * $tup$ >>)
               l <:ctyp< >> in
           <:ctyp< $tup:t$ >>

What is the advantage of the new approach and how did it become so  
verbose?

	Thanks, Joel
