Uh-oh! Scope creep! Glad I'm not obligated to do this :-)

Ouch. That had occurred to me too, but I wouldn't know how to do it. As
far as I know, OCaml has no built-in mechanism for processing raw
keystrokes.

&gt; One of the things I would be tremendously looking forward to having is
&gt; "typed autocompletion".

Yes, that would be nice. I think the hard part is implementing
tab-completion in the first place. If I can do that, it shouldn't be
much extra work to make it type- (or context-) sensitive.


&gt; One random thought, please make it easy to use with Ocaml yacc/lex
&gt; and or Camlp4.  -D

That sounds like a good idea, but could you be more specific about what
you mean?
