Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Deleting a type alias while including a module
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:33:29 +0100	[thread overview]

As a complement to my previous message, here is a minimal (well, short!) 
example displaying the behavior I cannot go around:

----8<--- example starts here ----
module type XARRAY =
sig
   type 'a xarray
   type 'a t = 'a xarray
end

module XArray : XARRAY =
struct
   type 'a xarray = 'a
   type 'a t = 'a xarray
end

module UseXArray =
struct
   include (XArray : XARRAY with type 'a t := 'a XArray.xarray )
end
----8<---- example ends here ----
Trying to compile this file yields the following error:

File "include_substitute.ml", line 15, characters 20-61:
Error: In this `with' constraint, the new definition of t
        does not match its original definition in the constrained signature:
        Type declarations do not match:
          type 'a t = 'a XArray.xarray
        is not included in
          type 'a t = 'a xarray
