This is irrelevant when the compiler doesn't understand blank lines. Btw, there are various conventions in use. Personally, I prefer a clear optical separation of functions, and typically use 2-3 blank lines, allowing me the freedom of putting single blank lines here and there into the function body for purely aesthetic reasons. But, as mentioned, this is off topic, as our common friend, the OCaml compiler, cannot make anything out of it.
