Subject: [Caml-list] First class module syntax

Hi

I was thinking about the syntax for a function taking a module as a
parameter, i.e.,

  let f (module M : S) = ...

Off the top of my head I couldn't think of anything that would prevent
the syntax from being like

  let f (M : S) = ...

I can't think of ways in which this would be ambiguously parsed, so I
was just wondering what led to the choice of requiring the "module"
keyword in this case.

Cheers,
Andre
