Subject: [Caml-list] namespace inside object?
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 15:36:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGh2ivAw17fXw_iR4bBPzsK4jXOmrmcYka0HJE77rS+vkcBwVg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is it possible to create namespaces inside an object? Concretely, I would
like to write

class buffer = object(self)
  ...
  method get = ...

  module Latin1 = struct
    method get = ...
  end

  module Utf8 = struct
    method get = ...
  end
end

so that given an object b : buffer, I can call methods
b#get
b#Latin1.get
b#Utf8.get

Declaring modules inside an object seems to be illegal, though. Is there
any way to achieve something along those lines? Is there a better way to
structure things?

Thanks,
-- Steffen
