I'm also the opinion, that type inference should be a feature. In the case of 
the record labels, if the compiler cannot decide the type of a record, an 
error could be issued to let the user manually fix it. The duplicate record 
label thingy arises regulary on the list, but I think it will stay a feature 
of ocaml :-)
