exception Failure and failwith

[Luca Pascali <luca@barettadeit.com>]

Hi everyone.

I've ran into a situation and I need a little explanation.

It's all about the failwith function of pervasives (that simply raises 
an exception Failure of string).
Normally, that exception can be cought by means of a try...with using as 
clause something like
| Failure s -> .....

That's good.
But what if I define something (another exception like module Stream 
does), a constructor (like I did) with the name Failure?

Obviously the Ocaml type checker will make all controls with the new 
definition of Failure (starting from that point).
But what if I want to catch the Failure exception? :-/
It seems that no module defines it, so I did not find any way to 
identify the exception.

Thanks to everyone
Luca
