The workaround is obvious anyway. Does this mean that menhir will be moved to the O'Caml distribution at some point? I don't think I'm the only person reading this list who doesn't use Menhir (at the moment) solely because it is not part of the *standard* O'Caml distribution. Unless Menhir is due to become the official, distributed and supported replacement for ocamlyacc, then this comment is not terribly impressive[1] David [1] Though this specific problem is utterly trivial to work around, as stated!
