I've seen little of other people's OCaml code, so out of curiosity,  
do you or others actually write code formatted like the above, as  
opposed to the more compact and (I think) readable

     let lst = [5; 4; 3; 2; 1; 0; -1; -2; -3; -4; -5] in
     let filter = List.filter (fun x -> x > 0) in
     let double = List.map (fun x -> -2 * x) in
     let sort = List.sort compare in
     (sort $$ double $$ filter) lst

?
