Actually, # type foo = :: of int * int;; # 1 :: 2;; - : foo = :: (1, 2) :) This is because :: is considered a constructor, and not just syntax (as is , or []). But in general automatic currying of constructors would be nice (I think Haskell does this). There is probably some technical reason why it's not a good idea in O'Caml though. - Chris
