I was surprised to find that the ocaml toplevel doesn't
support command history, line editing, etc, with the
arrow keys as the Python interpreter does for example.
This makes it difficult to interactively test code.
Am I missing something?

Please check "ledit" and "ocaml2" in Caml humps pages.

That's nice, but why isn't this ability built into `ocaml'?
I can't think of a reason why any user would not want this.

Just a guess: maybe a lot of developers are using the "run-caml"
command inside of emacs, which provides history and other nice
features.

I think a major reason is licensing: the GNU readline library is licensed
under the GPL, whereas the O'Caml toplevel is licensed under the QPL, and
these two licenses are not compatible. Check
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/LICENSE.html
for more info.
Since `ledit' is a standalone program, this sort of thing doesn't crop up.
cheers,
William

According to the Humps, SooHyoung Oh has written something called
OCaml2, "OCaml with editable line history".
