   Is there a way to set line buffering, particularly of stdout?
Short answer: no.

The OCaml I/O system doesn't use C's FILE *.  It's (much) simpler,
efficient, and just not done with line buffering as a goal.  I looked
at it (io.c) while implementing Cash (line buffering is in the
original specification), and adding this would have made a too big
patch.  I gave up.

Bruno.
