Subject: [Caml-list] exception Foo = Bar.Baz
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2016 16:34:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64e8e1be-7081-d683-e777-6f377968f36c@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Here:

  http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/typedecl.html#sec156

in Section 8.6.2 (Exception definitions) I read that one can define an alternate name for some existing exception.

That means that, at present, one can put something like:

  exception Foo = Bar.Baz

inside a _module structure_.

I am currently wondering why we are not allowed (also) to put this into a _module signature_ ?
Is this a deliberate decision (why?) or merely an omission?
