Hi,

I'm playing around with packs and ways to avoid having to duplicate
module signatures all over the place. So I came up with the following
idea: Each module declares an external and internal module type and
restricts itself to the internal type. The pack then further restricts
the module to the external type.

But then I get a type error I can't make heads or tails of:

File "pack.cmx", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: The implementation (obtained by packing)
       does not match the interface pack.mli:
       Modules do not match:
         sig
           module type Extern = sig val bar1 : Foo.foo_t end
           module type Intern =
             sig val bar1 : Foo.foo_t val bar2 : Foo.foo_t end
           module I : sig val bar1 : Foo.foo_t val bar2 : Foo.foo_t end
           val bar1 : Foo.foo_t
           val bar2 : Foo.foo_t
         end
       is not included in
         sig val bar1 : Foo.foo_t end
       Values do not match:
         val bar1 : Foo.foo_t
       is not included in
         val bar1 : Foo.foo_t
make: *** [all] Error 2


Can anyone explain that to me?

Here is a simple example that gives the above error:
