No it is not possible. This is a recurrent question on this
list. Various unsatisfying solutions have been proposed, among which

- to make a copy of Set with an additional type parameter eveywhere (I
  attach such a module below. Beware: this is an old version of Set)

- to make an unfunctorized version of Set that uses Pervasives.compare,
  thus polymorphic

(* Module [Set]: sets over ordered types *)

   function over the set elements. All operations over sets

             This is a two-argument function [f] such that
