ocamlc -i can do the same thing.
Maintaining two files can occasionally be annoying, but the benefits
of having a well-defined, well-documented interface between your
modules should not be minimized.
However it doesn't sound as if your project involves large amounts of
people working on the code base over a long period of time, so perhaps
maintainability is not so important for you.
