I find that Emacs is an excellent tool for searching for functions in the
OCaml library. The developers have helpfully provided a pure-ascii
version of the documentation, and a couple of incremental searches
usually gets me to what I want in a few second.
Occasionally I even do searches based on types. For example, I can never
remember the convention for naming conversion functions. Is it
int_to_string or string_to_int or string_of_int or...? A simple search
for "int -> string" settles the question in moments. :-)
