A "gotcha" to be aware of (if you aren't already handling this): don't 
forget that OCaml comments nest. ;)

Also, from my OCaml lexer in the Scintilla distribution:

# suggested; more could come from, say, Pervasives
keywordoptional1.caml= \
option Some None ignore ref lnot succ pred

# suggested; more could come from, say, user-defined types
keywordoptional2.caml= \
array bool char float int list string unit

The full set (including default coloring values) may be found in the 
caml.properties file in a Scintilla source tree.
