json-static. In that case, I think that reusing the code logic is a
good idea (coherent behaviour, etc.). I suppose that you dislike the
"patching" solution as it is not easily reusable (one cannot use the
upstream json-static anymore).

What about factorising json-static to allow adding arbitrary code
generators (represented as functions from (string * type_def) list to
a camlp4 Ast) at camlp4-time ? You would have a design similar to
type-conv, wich allows adding new generators without modifying
type-conv itself.
