You can instanciate an OCaml parser that way:

$ cat ex_str.mlmodule Caml =
  Camlp4OCamlParser.Make
    (Camlp4OCamlRevisedParser.Make
      (Camlp4.OCamlInitSyntax.Make(Ast)(Gram)(Quotation)));;

let quotexpander str =
  "[1; 2; 3]" (* ... do some real code on str *)

let patt_quotexpander loc _loc_name_opt str =
  Gram.parse_string Caml.patt loc (quotexpander str)

let expr_quotexpander loc _loc_name_opt str =
  Gram.parse_string Caml.expr loc (quotexpander str)

let str_item_quotexpander loc loc_name_opt str =
  <:str_item@loc< $exp: expr_quotexpander loc loc_name_opt str$ >>

let () =
  Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.expr_tag expr_quotexpander;
  Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.str_item_tag
str_item_quotexpander;
  Syntax.Quotation.add "" Syntax.Quotation.DynAst.patt_tag patt_quotexpander

$ ocamlc -pp camlp4of -I +camlp4 -c ex_str.ml
$ camlp4o ./ex_str.cmo -str '<<>>;;'
