   OK.  This makes more sense.  Well, except for the nitpicking detail that 
   true and false are not valid variant type identifiers, they should be True 
   and False.
   
There is a special exception: true, false, [], (), and :: are
constructor names, see 6.3 Naming objects. One can ideed write 

# type x = true of int | () of string | :: of float

only [] do not work as (not ;-)) expected: 

# type x = [] of int;;
Syntax error


(I think I filed a bug report about [], but the ocaml web pages
are just not reachable, so I can't give a reference.)

Bye,

Hendrik
