RE: [Caml-list] camlp4: LIST1 construct on record patterns

["Jeff Henrikson" <jehenrik@yahoo.com>]

Wait, sorry again, I figured out the correct type:

  let lbl_expr_list = 
    (Obj.magic (Grammar.Entry.find expr "lbl_expr_list") :
       (MLast.patt * MLast.expr) list Grammar.Entry.e) in

as you said, then "car" the first list element and it's right:

    [ [ $cons$; "{"; memb = LIST1 lbl_expr_list SEP ";" ; "}" -> 
          (let memb0= List.nth memb 0 in
          <:expr<{$list:memb0$}>>) ] ]

I don't understand it though.  Is there some explanation?
