Hi!

The current version of Batteries is 2.2.0 and its documentation is here:
http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.io/batteries-included/hdoc2/ . As far
as I know, there are no more syntax extensions in Batteries since 2.0.0
(which explains why it doesn't depend on camlp4). I don't know much
about the "rope generation" you talk about, but list comprehensions are
nicely replaced (imho) by the |> operator:

List.range 1 `To 10
    |> List.filter (< 5)
    |> List.map string_of_int

You can ask more questions on the Batteries mailing list
( https://lists.forge.ocamlcore.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/batteries-devel ).
Hope you will find it helpful!

Cheers,
