I've just read some of the user manual, and can notice a small
syntactic burden, as well as the unavoidable fact that one must learn
it to use it. (This is not a complaint. Any library is like that.)

Jon, were you talking about reimplementing List.map and the like, so
users have concurrency for free? A simple solution would be to use a
third party tool, like OcamlP3l.
