yes I know about this but I'ld rather create and modify an .mli than
have this horrible syntax inlined in the implementation.

The signature code (the one in sig end) is nice, and I want to use that
for describing my functions, so that implementation and description
stays reasonably distinct. OCaml let you do that inline when you
create a module in a file:

module xx : sig
  ....
end = struct
  ....
end

but for a file (which is also a module), you need to have a separate
file (a .mli) to do that.. and that's my point.
