Thanks.

Yes.  For those on caml-list, the paper Walid refers to is
@inproceedings{KiselyovSwadiTaha2004,
	author = {Oleg Kiselyov and Kedar N.~Swadi and Walid Taha},
	title = {A methodology for generating verified combinatorial
circuits},
	booktitle = {ACM International conference on Embedded Software
(EMSOFT)},
	year = {2004}
}

the ";"?  :)

See the comments in pa_monad.ml.  Unfortunately we cannot easily do that; in
fact the required amount of work to achieve this might be quite large!  It
would be by far easier to integrate this right into the grammar rather than
to post-facto extend the grammar via camlp4.  At least, as far as my current
understanding of camlp4 goes -- maybe if a lot more of the tricks of the
camlp4 Masters were documented, it would not look so hard anymore!
