I was thinking of recognizing that type X was used for instance variables, for example, and generating code to register these appropriately with the Objective-C runtime. I guess I could build a standalone tool to process OCaml class definitions and do this but I would rather have it as part of the regular compilation workflow. So, in a word, there's no way to achieve what I'm looking for? Haskell people do this using Template Haskell and Camlp4 provides very similar capabilities.
