Thanks.

I can probably do that, if I find a nice way of 
* extracting the signature and contents from .mli files
* replacing every occurrence of the private types of IO.mli with an
abstract type
* replacing every occurrence of these types in modules which use
InnerIO.output with IO.output

Of course, if anyone can think of a simpler solution, I'm interested.

So do I, it's going to take some work just to reach a testable solution.
