Subject: Re : Weak types ?
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 19:49:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01bd3330$064565a0$739536c1@pluton.ac.grenoble.fr> (raw)

Simon Helsen had given an explication about weak types and the reason their
existence, but there is still something i can't understand : if we do :

let toto y =
 let id x = x in
id id y ;;

this will be of type 'a ->'a
What is the difference with this :

let toto = let id x = x in id id ;;

I thought caml will understand that there is no difference !

why does caml make this difference ?
