OK, so I understand the following error message:
# type 'a t = 'a and u = int t and v = bool t;;
This type bool should be an instance of type int
But then, why is the following declaration accepted?
# type 'a t = 'a and u = A of int t and v = B of bool t;;
type 'a t = 'a
type u = | A of int t
type v = | B of bool t
I am still confused...
