| Subject: | Hiding a public module/type? |
Dear list,
In order to simplify the error messages for users of my library, I'd
like to hide some type aliasing.
I have the following:
(*** module [Inner], defined in inner.mli ***)
type t
(*** module [Outer], defined in outer.mli ***)
type t = Inner.t
val f : t -> t
Now, module [Inner] is only useful to define the library and shouldn't
be visible from the outside. Unfortunately, for the moment, whenever a
client makes a type error involving [f], the error message looks like
# f 5;;
^
This expression has type int but is used with type
Outer.t = Inner.t
Is there a simple way of turning this error message into
This expression has type int but is used with type
Outer.t
?
Thanks,
David
